"Despite being part of the Quad, India sustained pressure from the US and bought discounted Russian oil to provide relief to the masses. This is what our government was working to achieve with the help of an independent foreign policy," said The head of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) while retweeting a report regarding India's lower petrol and diesel prices.
Khan previously praised India as being a "khuddar quam" (extremely self-respecting people). No superpower can impose its will on a neighbouring nation, despite the fact that relations between New Delhi and Islamabad are strained, he claimed. Pakistan and India gained their independence simultaneously, according to Imran Khan, but Islamabad is being treated like toilet paper.
