“Go To India If You Like It So Much,” Says Pak Opposition Leader To Imran Khan On His No Superpower Remarks

Islamabad: Pakistan’s Opposition leader Maryam Nawaz Sharif on Saturday slammed Pak Prime Minister Imran Khan for his ‘no superpower’ remarks on India. She said that if he likes the neighboring country so much so he should migrate there.

These remarks from Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam, who is the daughter of deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif, came after Imran Khan termed India a “nation with a great sense of honour”.

While addressing the nation on Friday, Pak PM Imran Khan said that nobody can dictate India. He said, “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 further asked that they could not because India is a sovereign nation.

Responding to his remarks Maryam says that he has ‘gone mad.’ She said, “Someone should tell a person who has gone mad after seeing this power gone that he has been expelled by his 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 isn’t the first time Pak PM had praised India. Earlier he had praised India for its independent foreign policy. He had said that India protects their independent foreign policy which is centered on its people.

Imran Khan urged his supporters to stage peaceful protests across the country when the “new imported government” comes into power on Sunday. Khan has lost the majority in the 342-member house, as 176 are against him. Khan faces the possibility of being the first premier in the country’s history to be voted out in a no-trust motion. No Pakistani prime minister has ever completed a full five-year term in office.
