Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has termed the decision of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government for not attending the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers in Abu Dhabi unfortunate. In a tweet following Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi's announcement on the floor of joint sitting of the Parliament on Friday that Pakistan will not attend the OIC moot in protest against the OIC's decision to invite Indian Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj, Bilawal said that important international forums must be engaged at this critical time.
"Unfortunate, government has decided not to attend the OIC. Important international forums must be engaged at this critical time to put Pakistan's point of views across and expose India's belligerence and naked aggression. Cutting your nose to spite your face is never a great strategy," the PPP chairman tweeted.
In a joint session of the Parliament, Qureshi said that he will not attend the session due to the inter-governmental organization's failure to rescind the invitation to Swaraj.
