PESHAWAR (Pajhwok): The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman has slammed the incumbent government for agreeing to give military bases to the United States in the country.
The Biden administration are said to be in talks with the government of Prime Minister Imran Khan on the issue of bases on Pakistan soil for the American troops leaving Afghanistan.
Addressing a news conference at Wali Bagh in Charsadda district on Sunday, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto believed the US was being given bases inside Pakistan due to the changing situation in neighbouring Afghanistan.
He stressed that decisions on the fast-changing situation in Afghanistan should be taken in consultation with all political leaders.
Unlike the PPP government that took a tough stance on the drone attack on Salala check-post, the Imran Khan administration had no qualms toeing the line of foreign powers, he alleged.
Bilawal and other PPP leaders paid rich tribute to Begum Nasim Wali Khan, who died earlier in the month. They hailed her as a courageous politician with strong convictions and acumen.
