After days of the tragic ‘Pulwama Massacre’, killing 44 of valiant soldiers, Pakistan PM, Imran Khan addressed the issue saying that he choose not to speak because of the Saudi Crown Prince, MBS’s visit to Pakistan.
Imran Khan said that it was against Pakistan’s interest to ‘sabotage’ their conference with Saudi by indulging in any such act, which would undoubtedly deviate the attention.
In his address to the ‘Indian government’, he said that without any evidence India is blaming Pakistan for it and further asserted that Pakistan would not be any ‘benefit’ in doing such.

Talking on Kashmir, he said that any incident that occurs in the valley, India blames Pakistan rather than introspecting the issues that results in eradication of ‘fear of death’ amongst Kashmiri youths. He added that ‘military’ is not the solution in Kashmir but ‘dialogue’ is, citing the example of Afghanistan.
He further said that, India has always conditioned the talks between the 2 nation, with ‘terrorism’ as major issue. He added, this time Pakistan is ready to talk about it, assuring that if India could provide any ‘evidence’ of Pakistan being involved, they are ready to take action, as it is against their interest.
Imran Khan asserted that Pakistan would also want to ‘contain’ terrorism as it resulted in the loss of 70,000 Pakistani lives and 100 of millions in revenue. Terrorism effected ‘Pakistan’ the most, he said. He mentioned that its “Naya Pakistan”and it wants ‘stability’.
He further talked about the speculations in ‘Indian Media’ and the comments of various ‘politicians’. Saying that he know that its an ‘election year’ in INDIA and it would surely act as a “boost” if a lesson is taught to ‘Pakistan’.
