Tarar questions PTI founder’s silence over Israel attack

ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Attaullah Tarar, while reiterating Pakistan’s clear stances against Israel’s aggression on Saturday, also questioned the silence of PTI’s founder on Israel’s attack on Iran.

“Why is he always criticizing Pakistan Army on social media but stays silent on Israel’s aggression and Palestine’s suffering?” the information minister while speaking on floor of the National Assembly (NA) said.

Tarar at the same time said that PM Shehbaz Sharif, the deputy prime minister and other members of the government have openly spoken on the matter. “Where is the PTI founder and why he has not spoken a single word against Israel’s attack on Iran”, Tarar questioned.

He pointed out Pakistan took a clear and strong stand at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) against Israel’s unprovoked attack on Iran, expressing full support for the Iranian people.

“Pakistan believes Iran has the right to defend itself under the UN Charter, and this was clearly explained by Pakistan’s representative”, the minister said.
