Islamabad:
Pakistan’s Opposition leader Maryam Nawaz Sharif on Saturday lashed out at Prime Minister Imran Khan for lavishing praise on India, saying he should go to the neighbouring country if he likes it so much.
The remarks of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam, who is the daughter of deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif, came after Khan called India a “nation with a great sense of honour”.
Prime Minister Khan, in an address to the nation on Friday night ahead of the no-trust motion where he has little chances of surviving unless some miracle takes place, said that he was not against India and had a lot of following in the neighbouring country.
“No superpower can force India to do anything against its interests. They (India) are buying oil from Russia despite sanctions. Nobody can dictate India. What the European Union ambassadors said here, could they say that to India also?” he asked and added that they could not because India is a sovereign nation.
Responding to his remarks, Maryam said that Khan has “gone mad”.
“Someone should tell a person who has gone mad after seeing this power gone that he has been expelled by his own party and no one else.
“If you like India so much then shift there and leave the life of Pakistan,” the 48-year-old PML-N leader said.
This was not the first time when Prime Minister Khan has praised India to the surprise of Opposition parties.
Last week, he praised India for its independent foreign policy.
