Fazlur Rehman Criticizes Defence Minister Khawaja Asif Over Tehran Defence Talks Absence
Pakistani opposition leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman criticized Defence Minister Khawaja Asif in the National Assembly for not attending high-level defence talks in Tehran involving Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. Rehman used Asif's own phrase, "Koi sharam hoti hai, koi haya hoti hai" (Have some shame, have some decency), to question the government's handling of defence and foreign policy. The discussions in Tehran focused on regional security and preventing military escalation, with Pakistan's military chief and Interior Minister present instead of Asif. The remarks sparked laughter in Parliament and circulated widely on social media.
