Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Musadik Malik has strongly denounced Israel’s comments on Pakistan particularly on human rights situation at the time when Israel itself has a history of massive human rights violations.
Addressing a news conference in Islamabad this evening, he said it is surprising that Israel’s comments come in favor of PTI, a party, which instigated, planned and carried out violent attacks against state institutions and buildings on May 9.
The Minister of State said it is a fact that Israel has been oppressing Palestinian people for decades, mercilessly killing innocent civilians and children.
Speaking about imports of petroleum products, he said our deal with Russia will benefit us in all aspects while agreements with United Arab Emirates and Azerbaijan are in the process of finalization.
