Pakistani commentator Qamar Cheema said that Russian President Vladimir Putin has visited India several times in the last 25 years, but not Pakistan. He also told that what is it that Russia does not give importance to Islamabad?
New Delhi. Russian President Vladimir Putin visited India on 4-5 December. During this period, he made big agreements with India in many sectors. The eyes of countries around the world were fixed on Putin’s visit. In such a situation, how can Pakistan lag behind? Pakistan’s political commentator and expert Qamar Cheema expressed his anger while reacting to Putin’s visit to Delhi. Along with this, Cheema raised questions on his own country and asked why Russia’s top leader Vladimir Putin has not come to Pakistan yet. He also told the reason for this.
Pakistan failed to invite Putin to its place
Qamar Cheema has appealed to the governments of his country to consider the matter regarding the Russian top leadership not coming to Pakistan. He also explained why Russia does not give him importance. In a YouTube video, Qamar Cheema said, ‘Putin has been at the top of power in Russia for the last two and a half decades. He has visited India many times, but has never visited Pakistan till date. We can also say that we ourselves have failed to invite them to our place.
Hina Rabbani tried, but..
According to Qamar Cheema, former Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar had tried to invite Putin to Pakistan during her tenure. He had even claimed that Putin would come to Islamabad, but he did not come. Later the Russian Foreign Minister was sent to Pakistan for formalities.
Why does Russia not give importance to Pakistan?
According to Qamar Cheema, even in 2011, efforts were made to invite Vladimir Putin to Pakistan, but then the Russian government had given a blunt reply and said, we cannot come to Pakistan just for a photoshoot. What he simply meant was that he did not see any major agreement or benefit from Islamabad. Cheema said that this message also goes to the world that Pakistan is more inclined towards America, that is why Russia shy away from us.
blow for pakistan
According to Qamar Cheema, not being able to bring the Russian President to Pakistan for leadership is our failure and we will have to accept it. Pakistani leadership has failed to convince Russia that it too can be of great use to Russia like India.
