Islamabad (September 20, 2017): Former Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Wednesday took Foreign Office to task for its failure to stop what he said anti-Pakistan resolution by BRICS summit held in China.
Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, Nisar said that India had attempted to pass the resolution in last year summit which held in India but failed.

He said that India was working on the move for a long time and it succeeded in recent BRICS summit, who adopt a resolution naming Pakistan-based groups for terrorism.
“This was not a sudden event. India was preparing for it for long and our Foreign Office was sleeping, Our diplomats should be asked about it,” he said.
The former interior minister said that the speaker, on behalf of the government and opposition, should send a letter to British politician and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn for standing with Pakistan.
Nisar also flayed government for not condemning the US drone attack in Kurram Agency on September 15.
A suspected US drone strike killed three and injured two in Kurram Agency of the Federal Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on Friday.
The disgruntled PML-N leader said Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi met with the US ambassador the day of the drone attack and it was surprising to see that he did not issue a statement against it.
“If PM Abbasi was in the house today, I would have raised this issue personally, not in the assembly,” he added.
“Drone attacks are a challenge to Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. I am telling the world to respect Pakistan.”
