‘Nisar’s tone against diplomatic norms’

LAHORE
PML-Q president Ch Shujaat Hussain has said Interior Minister Ch Nisar should not have acted in haste in giving reaction to the statement of UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs as such reaction should have come from the Foreign Ministry.
Ch Shujaat Hussain said the language and tone Ch Nisar had used in giving his reaction was against diplomatic norms, adding if Pakistani government had any objection to the statement of the UAE Minister of State, the response should have come from the Foreign Ministry.
According to a press release issued here Wednesday, the senior Pakistan Muslim League leader said the UAE minister’s statement should have been regarded as expression of displeasure and not threat, Pakistan and UAE friendly relations spread over decades and like Saudi Arabia, UAE had always supported Pakistan in every difficult time, he added.
Ch Shujaat Hussain said Pakistan was made laughing stock throughout the world the manner irresponsible debate was held in the parliament and afterwards vague resolution was adopted.
The PML-Q stance right from the first day has been that Pakistan should unconditional support Saudi Arabia in this testing time and now United Nations Security Council had also endorsed his party’s stance, he said.
“For giving explanation regarding situation created by irresponsible attitude of Pakistan now Shahbaz Sharif has to go to Saudi Arabia and Nawaz Sharif has to say that the spirit of the resolution of the parliament was not understood at all properly”, Ch Shujat Hussain said.
The rulers of Saudi Arabia and UAE were not so illiterate that they could not understand the substance of the resolution, the government kept on saying that the resolution was not properly understood was like committing another sin to justify the sin, added the former prime minister.
