Pakistan's Defence minister Khawaja Mohammad Asif has said such a thing about prime minister Narendra Modi that his own people have started advising him. On one hand, Pakistan's prime minister, Foreign minister and Pak army Chief are trying to talk to india and on the other hand Khawaja Asif is spewing venom against India. Hussain Haqqani, Pakistan's former ambassador to the US, has raised questions on his action and asked whether there is no discussion among the ministers of Pakistan on any issue, that Khawaja Asif is saying such things.
Hussain Haqqani shared Khawaja Asif's post on social media platform X and wrote, 'Do the cabinet ministers of pakistan not talk to each other? The prime minister, Foreign minister and Field Marshal are saying all over the world that pakistan wants to talk to india again and now, the Defence minister is saying objectionable things for the prime minister of India. How can any conversation move forward with such language?'
On Wednesday, Shahbaz Sharif called Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman and said that he wanted to talk to India. He said that he was ready to talk on all issues like terrorism, Pakistan Occupied Jammu and kashmir (POJK), Indus Water Treaty and trade. Meanwhile, Khawaja Asif's statement has come. However, this is not the first time that the Pakistan government has been embarrassed due to the statement of the Pakistani Defense Minister.
Khwaja Asif is a big name in Pakistan's politics, but he embarrasses himself by giving some absurd statement every day. A similar incident happened last month, when after the april 22 pahalgam terrorist attack, in an interview with a foreign tv channel, he admitted that pakistan has been sheltering terrorism. He told the journalist that pakistan has been playing the dirty game of sheltering terrorism at the behest of the West for many decades.
This statement of Khawaja Asif created a ruckus in the politics of Pakistan. Although, no statement came from the government, but many Pakistani journalists and famous people with deep understanding of Pakistani politics criticized his statement.
