Islamabad (National Times)- PTI has termed Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s address at the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) “copy-paste” of former premier Imran Khan’s speech at the same platform.<\/p>\n
“It was a copy-paste of Imran Khan’s address,” former foreign minister and PTI Senior Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Qureshi said Shehbaz addressed the issues of occupied Kashmir, Afghanistan, and Islamophobia in a similar manner as the PTI chairman did during his speech. <\/p>\n
“Maybe he copy-pasted an earlier speech of Imran Khan.”<\/p>\n
The PTI leader said it was a good gesture from the prime minister’s end to remind the developed world that they were behind the climate catastrophes across the globe.<\/p>\n
“But what steps have Shehbaz Sharif and his brother [Nawaz Shairf] taken for climate change?” Qureshi, whose party strongly opposes the PML-N, questioned.<\/p>\n
The PTI leader mentioned that had the previous governments of PPP and PML-N built water storage facilities in the last four decades, Pakistan would not be facing such a grave situation right now.<\/p>\n
“On the contrary, Imran Khan took several steps. His Billion Tree Tsunami project received global appreciation,” the senior PTI leader added.<\/p>\n
In Pakistan, devastating floods this month engulfed large swaths of the country, killing more than 1,500 people and causing damage estimated at $30 billion.<\/p>\n
PM Shehbaz, during his speech at the UNGA, had asked world leaders why his people were paying the price of global warming.<\/p>\n
“Pakistan has never seen a more stark and devastating example of the impact of global warming. Life in Pakistan has changed forever,” Sharif told the General Assembly. ”<\/p>\n
Nature has unleashed her fury on Pakistan, without looking […] at our carbon footprint.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
