Pakistan has tried to downplay India's decision not to invite Imran Khan for Narendra Modi's swearing-in on Thursday, saying the Indian Prime Minister's "internal politics" does not permit him to extend an invitation to his Pakistani counterpart.

Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said, "His (Prime Minister Modi's) entire focus (during the election campaign) was on Pakistan-bashing. It was unwise to expect that he can get rid of this narrative (soon)." He was quoted as saying by Dawn news. "India's internal politics did not permit him to extend an invitation," he added.
