Nisar lashes out at PM, warns against ’embarrassing Pak internationally’

Former Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan lashed out at his own party’s prime minister on Tuesday, saying government officials should refrain from issuing statements that reinforce the enemy’s narrative and embarrass Pakistan in front of the international community.

Nisar’s statement comes as a reaction to PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi’s recent remarks endorsing Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif’s statement on the need for “putting our own house in order”.

On Monday while speaking to the media in London, the Pakistani premier said the foreign minister’s statements regarding ‘in-house cleaning’ were completely true and that he agrees with the point of view that ‘our own house needs to be cleaned first’.

But Nisar, who had earlier assailed Asif over his remarks regarding banned outfits, has now lashed out at his own party’s prime minister over the matter.

“No one has stopped the PM from putting the house in order, but issuing such statements publicly will only result in embarrassing the country,” Nisar said.

“The enemy’s narrative is strengthened when government officials issue public statements on internal issues,” he said, adding that these actions weaken Pakistan’s position internationally.

He insisted that the Indian government or politicians never admit to the atrocities of extremist organisations operating in their own country.

“The government should focus more on taking practical steps than issuing [such] statements,” he said, referring to the premier and Khawaja Asif’s statements about ‘in-house cleaning’ and banned outfits.
