Cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan has said Nawaz Sharif was treated like a schoolboy during his trip to India and questioned his visit to the home of an Indian steel tycoon, saying it reflected the misplaced priorities of the prime minister.
Khan, the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), asked how Sharif could visit the home of Sajjan Jindal with his businessman son Hassan Nawaz when it is clearly a conflict of interest. Khan pointed out that no western democratic leader does business while in office, as it is a clear conflict of interest.
Khan said that going to the steel magnate’s house for tea in New Delhi when he couldn’t find time to meet the Hurriyet leaders reflected the misplaced priorities of Prime Minister Sharif.
Speaking to media outside the Parliament House, Khan said that by not meeting representatives of the Hurriyat Conference, the prime minister had struck a bargain on Kashmir.
