Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday expressed his concern over the extent leaders of Israel and India would go to secure their vote bank and wondered if people of their respective countries ever feel outraged about that.
The premier tweeted: “When ldrs in Israel & India show a moral bankruptcy in their readiness to annex occupied West Bank & IOK in defiance of int law, UNSC resolutions & their own Constitution for votes, don’t their ppl feel a sense of outrage & wonder how far they will go simply to win an election?”
