In a rare occurrence, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Khawaja Saad Rafique agreed with political rival Prime Minister Imran Khan.
On Monday, Saad Rafique gave a ‘thumbs up’ to a tweet by Imran Khan in which the premier was criticising US President Donald Trump for not recognising Pakistan’s sacrifices in the war against terrorism.
In his tweet, the prime minister wrote that “Trump’s false assertions add insult to the injury. Pakistan has suffered in US War on Terrorism in terms of lives lost and destabilised and economic costs. He needs to be informed abt historical facts. Pak has suffered enough fighting US’s war. Now we will do what is best for our people & our interests.”
The PML-N leader, appreciating the statement, gave a ‘thumbs up’ to the tweet.
