Why EU never wrote letters to India on Kashmir? Asks Pakistani PM Imran Khan

PM Imran khan, during a speech to public gathering in Mailsi, talked about the EU envoy’s letter to Pakistan in which EU had asked Pakistan to condemn Russian actions in Ukraine. He also raised the question to the EU why no letter was written to India on violation of international laws in Kashmir.

“EU ambassadors wrote a letter to Pakistan, asking us to issue an anti-Russia statement. I ask EU ambassadors “did you write that letter to India as well?”, PM Khan asked.

PM Imran Khan was accompanied by CM Punjab Usman Buzdar and other government members.

The premier reminded the participants of the rally that Pakistan had helped the Western bloc throughout its War on Terror (WoT), adding that had he been in power at that time, he would have never made Pakistan a party to the war.

“The head of the country at that time supported the US,” said PM Imran. He wondered what Pakistan got out of supporting the West apart from losing 80,000 of its citizens, displacement of 3.5 million people, and losing over $100 billion.

“I ask EU ambassadors, did you thank us? Did you say we helped you in your war? Did you appreciate us?” PM Imran questioned the EU envoys.

The premier reminded the envoys that instead of thanking Pakistan, there were some people in the West that scapegoated Islamabad.

“When India broke international law in Kashmir and abrogated Kashmir’s autonomous status, did anyone of you break ties with India, end trade or criticize [New Delhi]?” asked PM Imran.

“What are we? Are we your slaves? Do we do what you say?” the premier questioned.

He then asked the people of Mailsi why were there drone attacks happening in the country from 2008 to 2018. He said we don’t want to be part of any camp. We have friendship with US, China and Russia all and one day we, along with other leaders, will talk to Russia for the ceasefire in Ukraine.
