At a time of great crisis for Pak, unfortunate that Imran Khan acts out a narrative that has lost its relevance & credibility: Sherry Rehman


ISLAMABAD, Feb 04 (SABAH): Minister for Climate Change Senator Sherry Rehman has said that at a time of great crisis for Pakistan, unfortunate that Imran Khan acts out a narrative that has lost its relevance and credibility. Such politics of polarisation only diminishes the national unity needed to fight national threats, particularly terrorism, on which he still signals ambiguity.

In a statement issued on twitter on Saturday, Sherry Rehman said that by refusing to attend anti terror meeting in Peshawar, Islamabad APC, that no party has ever refused in the past, no matter how deep the political differences, he once again says that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s politics is more important than Pakistan. For him this was an opportunity that narcissism squandered, she said.

She said that crucially, by messaging “differences” on countering terrorism or refusing to renew national resolve to fight terror, he is basically continuing to convey a tolerance for non-state actors that is totally expedient for his own “extremism-friendly” politics but disastrous for Pakistan.
