Prime Minister Imran Khan, during a live question/ answer session with the masses on Monday evening stated that Pakistan will not take a step in strengthening ties with India unless New Delhi ends its August 5 decision on the Illegal occupancy of Jammu and Kashmir. Khan went on to criticize the western media while answering the same question, calling out its silence on the many atrocities carried out in Kashmir. He also claimed that this silence was solely due to personal benefits of a growing India, in hopes of it countering the threats imposed by neighboring China on western supremacy.
“It’s quite foolish to think that India would stand up to China because it would only result in India’s destruction,”

What else was brought up in session? Imran Khan also answered questions on the economic prospects of the country, mentioning efforts taken to increase exports and sales in many sectors. He further added that Kissan cards were provided to the farmers, which aided them in seed development, leading to an increase in crop yield. Khan also revealed that Opposition leader and President of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Shehbaz Sharif, was charged with a Rs. 700 Billion money laundering case against him. Further charges against corruption cases are being facilitated, he added. Covid-19 SOPs were also reiterated in the session, especially in light of Eid. The Prime Minister reminded the masses to maintain social distancing and protection protocols in order to offset the likelihood of another wave, similar to one seen in India.
