Senate Chairman Mian Raza Rabbani on Tuesday took stock of media reports that no meeting between Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and US President Donald Trump was scheduled on the sidelines of UN General Assembly session and Trump had asked his vice president to meet with the Pakistani premier.
He termed this approach of the United States as degrading Pakistan and suggested the prime minister not to hold a meeting with US vice president if Donald Trump had no time to meet him. Rabbani said that Pakistan was playing a leading role in the war against terrorism in the region, which should be acknowledged.
He sought response by the government on the display of anti-Pakistan posters in Switzerland. “Interior minister should coordinate with the Foreign Office to record its statement on the floor of the house regarding anti-Pakistan posters displayed in Switzerland,” he said in his reaction to this incident.
