Pakistan's government has w me India's opposition's political attacks against Modi government its go-to defence, if Imran Khan's Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi's latest interview on Pakistani television is to be believed.

Speaking to Pak's Geo TV, Qureshi, who has bumbled sheepishly through an unending list of interviews to global media in last few days in an effort to spin narrative against Pakistan which has become increasingly isolated over its backing for terrorism, remarked how in days following Pulwama terror attack all Indian Opposition parties h supported government, but later, after all party meet on February 27, revolted.

Qureshi especially cited Congress, highlighting how it was opposing what Indian government was saying.

Aside from extolling Congress, Pak Foreign Minister also lied through teeth about how Pakistani alertness and intelligence h prevented India from attacking as many as five targets. On day following Balakot strike, same Qureshi h sat beside Pak Defence Minister who cluelessly said that Pak Air Force was unable to stop India's strike because it was dark.

Qureshi's statements came on a day that Congress went all-out to question forces over potency of strikes, with Navjot Singh Sidhu shamefully asking if IAF h gone re to uproot trees or uproot terrorists.
