He stated that almost all countries in the international community have already presented their respective positions regarding the attacks by Israel and the United States on Iran and continue to do so consistently, while the Pakistani public is eagerly waiting to hear a clear and explicit stance from its government.
He further said that Pakistan’s failure to present its position even after the martyrdom of hundreds of school girls and other civilians in Iran is surprising and astonishing. He questioned what the silence of the Pakistani government signifies regarding the attacks on Iran, especially as a neighboring country. Why is the government not openly presenting its stance before the people of Pakistan?
He also said that regarding the indiscriminate firing on protesters outside the American consulates and at other locations in Karachi, Islamabad, Gilgit, and Skardu — in which innocent young people were martyred and injured — the federal government has still not clarified whether they were killed by police firing or by gunfire from American soldiers present inside the consulates.
I strongly appeal to all respected readers to share their views, as always, in response to this tweet as well.
Thank you.
