In response to a letter signed by 20 European Union ambassadors in Islamabad last week, demanding Pakistan denounce Russia, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Kahn retorted, while speaking at a political event: “What do you think of us? Are we your slaves ... that whatever you say, we will do?”

The EU letter was in response to Pakistan’s abstention from voting on the March 2 UN General Assembly motion denouncing Russia’s special operation in Ukraine.

“I want to ask the European Union ambassadors: Did you write such a letter to India?” Khan demanded to know, Sputnik. Khan also reportedly said that Europe has failed to condemn India over Kashmir, where Pakistan and India have fought two wars.

Kahn said further that in return for Pakistan’s assistance to the NATO alliance in Afghanistan, instead of thanks, Pakistan had received condemnation.
