ISLAMABAD, June 16(ABC): PTI Chairman Imran Khan on Thursday said that no Pakistani prime minister can run an independent foreign policy.
Addressing a press conference at the Islamabad High Court Bar Association on Thursday, the former premier gave a list of PTI’s achievements during its tenure and heavily criticised the coalition government’s handling of the economy.
“In our time, the country had the best economic performance,” he said.
If the nation does not take a stand, no prime minister will be able to formulate an independent foreign policy, he emphasised, adding that if one takes a stand for their national interests, they will be respected, but if one “cleans their shoes”, they will be looked down upon.
“The more we bow before America, the more they will ask us to ‘do more’,” he said.
