DHAKA: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chairman Imran Khan on Monday said that prime minister Nawaz Sharif was treated like a ‘schoolboy’ when he visited India to attend Narendra Modi’s swearing-in ceremony last week.
By not meeting the representatives of the Hurriyat Conference in New Delhi, the prime minister had struck a bargain on Kashmir, Pakistan’s Dawn Online quoted Imran as saying, reports NDTV.
Khan raised questions that if Sharif could meet Indian leaders in Delhi, then why could he not hold a meeting with those representing the Hurriyat Conference.
Earlier Sharif’s National Security and Foreign Affairs Advisor Sartaj Aziz had said that his India trip for the inauguration of Modi was ‘in itself such a seismic event, the first time ever for a Pakistani leader, that it would have been unrealistic to expect any substantive breakthroughs’.
Nawaz Sharif met his counterpart Narendra Modi on May 27 for the bilateral talks.
