Federal Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday took exception to opposition Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed for latter’s remarks that Pakistan must set its own house in order and not allow its territory to be used against any other country.
“We can bid good riddance to some people, If only India decides to offer them immigration,” the minister said in a sarcastic tweet which he wrote while responding to Mushahid Hussain Syed’s twitter post. “Just how much should we put our house in order? Neither you will become Foreign Minister, nor will you get satisfied by the measures,” he told Syed without elaborating.
The minister also asked Syed to refrain from undertaking foreign visit on Senate’s expenses. Mushahid Hussain Syed had tweeted in the backdrop of Pulwama attack in Occupied Kashmir that killed over 40 Indian troops.
“Pakistan too, must set its own house in order: not allow its territory to be used against any other country, esp in the context of Iran’s current complaint, following last November’s freeing of 5 Iranian soldiers who were kidnapped/held captive by terror groups on Pakistan soil,” said the Senator after sharing a New York Times report.
