Political Crisis In Pakistan Shows Imran Khan's Policy Failure On All Fronts: Top Govt Sources In India
The government sources further said that whenever the Pakistan establishment tried to move forward to improve relations, Khan kept targeting India which did not yield any positive results for both countries.
New Delhi: While the political crisis in Pakistan continues to worsen, India has reacted to the developments in the neighbourhood. The top government sources spoke to ABP News saying that the situation in Pakistan shows the policy failure by the Imran Khan government on all fronts including India.
The government sources further said that whenever the Pakistan establishment tried to move forward to improve relations, Khan kept targeting India which did not yield any positive results for both countries.
Sources added that the Pakistan premier constantly targetted India for two things- First he called the Indian leadership, especially the Prime Minister a "Nazi" while he himself worked as one.
Secondly, Imran Khan himself admitted how successful India's foreign policy is, which means that his foreign policy was not successful.
The government sources further said that apart from these two things, Imran Khan's failure is a setback to all the democratic traditions he had created and all the democratic institutions he was trying to strengthen. Sources added, " He was a sportsman but he never showed sportsman spirit."
Commenting further on the current political fiasco in Pakistan, government sources said that India's top leadership is keeping an eye on the latest political situation in Pakistan because "whatever happens in Pakistan will have an impact on the region, especially on the economic system because Pakistan's economy has already collapsed."
Meanwhile, Khan has given a statement on Monday that he is not "anti-Indian" or anti-American" or against any country and he wanted good relations with all nations based on mutual respect.
Addressing a televised public interaction programme, a day after members of his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party blocked a vote of no-confidence against him in the National Assembly and got President Arif Alvi to dissolve the lower house, Khan attacked the Opposition parties, according to a PTI report.
The joint opposition's strategy of looking towards the Supreme Court instead of preparing for elections following the dissolution of the National Assembly was a sign that it "fears the reaction of the public," he said.
Responding to a question amidst the controversy over an alleged foreign letter that threatened his government, Khan, who has been asked to continue as prime minister by the president till a caretaker premier was appointed, said he was not against foreign countries.
"I am not against any country. I am not anti-Indian or anti-American. But we can be against policies. I want friendship with them and there should be respect," Khan was quoted as saying by the Dawn newspaper.
