Pakistan should learn self-pride from India, no superpower can dictate terms to Delhi: Imran Khan
India Today
Pakistan's PM Imran Khan lauded India's foreign policy and said that no country could question the stand taken by New Delhi in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
“No superpower can dictate terms to India,” Pakistan's embattled Prime Minister Imran Khan said, adding that no country could stand up to India when it refused to take sides in the Russia-Ukraine war citing the interests of people.
“The EU diplomats kept pressuring that Pakistan should speak against Russia. But they couldn’t dare say that to India because India is a sovereign nation,” Imran Khan said. “I cannot let people die for another country. Our foreign policy should be sovereign,” he stressed.
“The US was unhappy with my Russia visit,” a defiant Imran Khan said as he addressed his nation ahead of voting on the no-confidence motion tomorrow. Imran Khan tore into the United States, saying that despite being an ally, the western country carried out 400 drone strikes in Pakistan and actively conspired to topple his government in connivance with the opposition.

The beleaguered PM of Pakistan, who has been extremely vocal about his charges against the US, also maintained that he is not "anti-America".
Last month, the Leader of the Opposition in the Pakistan National Assembly, Shehbaz Sharif, had tabled the no-confidence motion against Khan. The voting was to be held on April 3. However, on that day, the deputy Speaker of the Assembly, in a dramatic turn of events, dismissed the motion, prompting Imran Khan to advise the President to dissolve the Assembly and call for an out-of-turn election.
The Supreme Court took suo moto cognizance of the events of April 3 and quashed the deputy Speaker’s dismissal of the motion and overturned the President’s decision to dissolve the National Assembly.
