Female MPs have criticised Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for his narcissism after the PTI leader declined Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s invitation to attend the next All Parties Conference (APC).
Senator Sherry Rehman, a climate change minister, claimed that the PTI leader’s failure to attend the APC demonstrates that his goals do not coincide with Pakistan’s security and interests.
In a statement released in this respect, she stated, “At a time when Pakistan is experiencing a huge crisis, it is distressing to observe that Khan continues to act out a narrative that has lost its relevance and legitimacy.”
After the premier acknowledged issuing an invitation to Khan during the apex committee meeting held at the Governor’s House in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, PTI Secretary-General Asad Umar announced the party leader wouldn’t attend the federal government’s APC scheduled for February 7.
The minister went on to say that by contacting the APC, the coalition government was attempting to get all of the political leaders of the nation to talk about how they could work together to address the issues facing the nation.
However, Rehman noted that Khan’s polarising politics only weaken the sense of togetherness that the country needs to combat threats, including terrorism, about which he continues to telegraph uncertainty.
