During the telephonic conservation, they also expressed reservations about what they called the ‘government’s failures’ on Kashmir issue.
Bilawal said India was oppressing Kashmiris while Prime Minister Imran Khan was trying to provide reliefto the Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav. He said the country never saw such a peak during the government of Prime Minister Imran Khan and accused the government of hiding the coronavirus figures and playing with the lives of the people of Pakistan.
