While referring to the PTI’s political rivalry with the PML-N and the PPP, former foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar has said that “reconciliation” was way better than “recrimination”.

Speaking to GZero Media at the Munich Security Conference, Khar said, “I hope that this will be our time where we come together and realise that from recrimination, reconciliation is far far far far far better”.

She said that by refusing to speak to “X and Y and Z” — referring to other parties in the National Assembly — the PTI was not respecting its own mandate.

Khar emphasised the need for the “very large youth bubble” in the country’s population to be made its strength “instead of being our weakness”.
