In an exclusive chat with Online news agency, he said, Pakistan needs a senior and experienced foreign minister to defeat India diplomatically. Shah Mehmood Qureshi was a competent foreign minister, he said, adding that, Party senior leaders were not consulted before appoint Hina Rabbani Khar as foreign minister.
Hina Rabbani Khar was a good state minister for economic affairs but she lacks knowledge of diplomacy, he claimed. India needed an experienced foreign minister in ministerial level dialogue between Pakistan and India, he said, adding that, India would have Physiological lead against Pakistan in the dialogue just because of experienced foreign minister.
PPP has experienced leaders who could be appointed as foreign minister but I don’t know the reason why Government was in hurry to appoint Hina Rabbani Khar as foreign minister, federal foreign minister Sardar Asif Ali added.
Pakistan is facing internal and external challenges, he said. We are facing security challenges and west has expressed reservation on country’s nukes many times. Such things can not be tackled without experienced diplomat, he said.
