Pak Foreign Minister goes berserk when asked to name 58 countries backing them on Kashmir issue

New Delhi | Jagran News Desk: After crying foul in front the world alleging human rights violation in Kashmir and to support them in raising voice against New Delhi’s decision to revoke the Article 370 from Kashmir, ending its temporary special status, Pakistan was left stunned when every country at the recently concluded UN General Assembly held in New York, backed India and agreed on its point that Kashmir is an integral part of India and was never a bilateral issue.  

Showcasing its frustration after the failed attempt to internationalise the Kashmir issue at the UNGA, Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, blasted out on a Pakistani journalist who asked him to mention those 58 countries who Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan had commended for backing Islamabad on its stance at the United Nations Human Rights Commission.

Shah Mehmood Qureshi was seen shouting during a talk show on Pakistan TV channel Express-News. During the interview, the journalist Javed Chaudhary asked him to name those 58 countries which Imran Khan had commended in his tweet on 12 September, as Qureshi had repeatedly endorsed Imran Khan’s statement every now and then.

Soon after the journalist asked him the question, the minister was spooked and started shouting on live interview asking the journalist, ‘whose agenda he is working on’, and repeatedly asking him to show the tweet which Qureshi had shared endorsing Imran Khan’s statement.

He can be seen saying, "On whose agenda are you working?" Qureshi snapped at talk show host. "Are you going to tell me or decide which countries have or have not supported Pakistan at the UN?... You may write whatever you want!"

After the journalist again pressed him for endorsing the Pak PM’s statement on his own Twitter account, Qureshi said, “No! No! Show me the tweet I have written, not what Prime Minister Khan has written. You have said my tweet... show that to me. I want my tweet."

Even after the journalist showed him his tweet defying Qureshi’s claim, it spooked him even more and he said that he found nothing wrong in his tweet and said, "I stand by what I have said. What is so surprising in this....whose agenda are you following?”
