ISLAMABAD — Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan slammed the Islamabad-based Western envoys for pressuring Pakistan to condemn Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in the United Nationals General Assembly voting from which Pakistan abstained, reported TRT World.
Addressing a public rally, Imran Khan said Pakistan is not the West’s slave in reply to the joint letter issued by the heads of 22 diplomatic missions in which Pakistan was urged to support a resolution in the United Nations General Assembly condemning Russia.
“I want to ask the European Union ambassadors: Did you write such a letter to India?” Imran Khan said.
“What do you think of us? Are we your slaves … that whatever you say, we will do?” Imran Khan said adding that Pakistan suffered because it had supported the Western NATO alliance in Afghanistan.
“We have friendships with the United States, Russia, China and Europe. We are not in any camp. Since we are neutral, we will try to collaborate with these countries to endeavour for an end to this war in Ukraine,” Imran Khan said.
