Newly Elected Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan Sends Positive Message to India’s Modi

July 27, 2018 (EIRNS)—In his speech July 26 declaring victory in the Pakistan election (which is not yet official), Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party chief Imran Khan pledged to “match every step India takes towards Pakistan with two.”

“We want to improve our relations with India,” he said, “if their leadership also wants it. This blame game that whatever goes wrong in Pakistan is because of India and vice versa brings us back to square one.”

Khan expects to be sworn in on Aug. 14, Pakistan’s Independence Day.
