ترکی نے وزیراعظم شہباز شریف کو دورے سے روک دیا.

اپنی عزت اپنے ہاتھ میں ہی ہوتی ہے۔ وزیراعظم شہباز شریف صاحب کی پھرتیوں نے بےعزت کروا دیا ہے۔ وزیر اعظم صاحب ترکی جانے کے لیے بلکل تیار تھے کہ ترکی والوں نے کہہ دیا کہ ابھی رہنے دیں آپ کو پروٹوکول دیں یا اپنے لوگوں کی جان بچائیں۔

Government sources say that the visit was canceled considering the current situation. He says that there is no truth in such reports that the Turkish authorities have asked to cancel the visit.
ذرائع کا کہنا ہے کہ ترکیہ حکومت کی جانب سے پیغام دیا گیا ہے کہ شہباز شریف فی الحال تشریف نہ لائیں، اس وقت یہاں قیامت صغریٰ کا منظر ہے اور ہم ریسکیو کاموں میں مصروف ہیں، جس کے بعد وزیراعظم نے اپنا دورہ ملتوی کردیا

Reacting to the cancellation of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s visit to Turkey, Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Fawad Chaudhry wrote on his Twitter handle that “Shahbaz Sharif and Bilawal have never left any stone unturned in promoting Pakistan at the international level.
How much wisdom is required for this decision?” That the government and the people of Turkey are in severe shock, thousands of people are buried under the rubble, they will not be able to host at this time, but this group of fools has become a forced guest.
