Delhi: A prominent Member of National Assembly from the ruling party in Pakistan, PML-N, Muhammed Afzal Khan, said on Thursday said that India was not the sole focus of Pakistan anymore, as per a media report.
He added that rather than have any expectations from India, it was time to concentrate on economic revival of the country.
Khan is also a federal parliamentary secretary.
At the same time, he is the convenor of National Assembly Parliamentary Friendship Committee Group between Pakistan and China.
Indian Express quoted Khan as saying, "It is a hopeless situation. I mean we would not like to continue wasting time. Our politics sustains on the back that we would like to keep the differences alive, we would not like to give them up. But we would not like to waste our time, we have already lost a lot of development indicators and we should try to do an economic revival of Pakistan.”
“Not that it is by any design that we don’t like India, it is the hopelessness of the situation and I think that is the tragedy between our two nations. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power we thought that he is a person who would work solely on economy and other things will remain behind…it has not turned out that way,” he added.
