Khawaja Asif blames PTI for MBS visit postpnement

PMLN Leader Khawaja Asif blamed PTI’s long march for the postponement of the Saudi crown prince’s visit on Sunday. He made a comparison to the postponement of the Chinese President’s visit in 2014 due to PTI’s sit-in in a Tweet.

“Imran Khan has no thought except his own interests,” Khwaja wrote. “This man is working on an agenda against the country.”

Aaj’s Naveed Akbar and Zakaullah Mohsin reported on Saturday that the Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s visit to Pakistan had been postponed after a change of plan in his Asia Tour. MBS’ visit to India has also been postponed.

PTI’s Shahbaz Gill used the India argument to hit back at Asif saying that the visit had never been confirmed in the first place.

“Did Imran Khan cancel his (MBS) visit to India too?” GIll wrote on Twitter.
