Fawad mocks 'breathless' opposition as PM visits Russia

Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Thursday mocked opposition over Prime Minister Imran Khan's visit to Russia, saying they didn't need to be afraid about it. Premier Imran along with a high-level delegation is on a two-day visit to the Russian Federation from 23-24 February. He is accompanied by cabinet members and senior officials. He held one-on-one meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Kremlin and the two leaders held wide-ranging consultations on bilateral relations as well as regional and international issues of mutual interest. "Those belonging to the PML-N, PPP and some quarters of the media are scared of PM Imran's visit to Russia," Fawad said on his Twitter handle. He added that the only problem was these "brothers have so much money in the West that they are breathless." The minister further stated that such people needn't worry as Pakistan's stay is and will remain as PTI's supreme policy. نون لیگ پیپلز پارٹی اور کچھ میڈیا والے وزیر اعظم کے روس کے دورے سے ایسے خوفزدہ ہیں کہ کسی نے ان کے جسم سے خون نکال لیا ہو مسئلہ صرف اتنا ہے کہ بھائیوں کا اتنا پیسہ مغرب میں ہے کہ سانس رکی ہوئ ہے فکر نہ کریں پاکستان کا مفاد تحریک انصاف کی سپریم پالیسی ہے اور رہے گا — Ch Fawad Hussain (@fawadchaudhry) February 24, 2022 On Monday, while addressing a gathering, the PM said he had always urged his team not to panic, and “today, I am telling the opposition ‘ghabrana nahi’ (don’t panic)”. His remarks came as the opposition leaders met to discuss tabling the no-confidence motion against the incumbent government in the National Assembly. PM Imran had said that when the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf came to power, “the situation was very bad and the country was bankrupt”. “I was worried the team would panic, so I urged them not to panic. “This is what I used to say to my team when we were playing against the toughest cricket team [of that time] West Indies and today I am telling the opposition not to panic,” he was quoted as saying.
