Referring to the incident of an Indian missile entering Pakistan, Imran Khan said, "But when Nawaz Sharif was in power, he never spoke against [Indian Prime Minister] who was calling the Pakistan Army terrorists at the time." Nawaz had directed the foreign office to not issue statements against India, Imran Khan said. "Leader whose assets are abroad will never devise an independent foreign policy that focuses on protecting the nation and its rights. But neither have I ever bowed before anyone nor will I ever let you bow before you anyone," Imran Khan said.
