A day after the surgical strikes on terrorist launchpads in PoK ordered by PM Narendra Modi, which shocked and humiliated Pakistan, a furious opposition leader and chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party Imran Khan delivered a speech in Punjab’s Raiwind province that tore into Pak PM Nawaz Sharif and also targetted India. Khan had said on Thursday that he would teach Sharif how to respond to such attacks and that he would ‘send a message to Modi’ too. On Friday, in his speech he sought to do exactly that.
