Ex-PM #ImranKhan dragged #Cuba into domestic #Pakistan politics by using sanctions on Cuban people as something Pakistanis should look up to. This cynical analogy was unfair to both great nations. One more damage from the previous govt added to PM @CMShehbaz's repair list.

Federal Minister @betterpakistan represents many Pakistanis who believe #Pakistan should not be like #Cuba/#NorthKorea; and is within his rights to respond to the statement by ex-PM #ImranKhan who advised Pakistanis at an international forum to learn to live under sanctions.
#Pakistan and #Cuba enjoy excellent ties. But first the ex-PM dragged Cuba into Pak politics, and when a Minister @betterpakistan responded to the ex-PM, the Ambassador of Cuba apparently indirectly came to ex-PM's defense. This looks like an attempt to meddle in 🇵🇰 politics.
Not surprising considering that several countries and militant groups in the region openly meddled in Pakistani politics by siding earlier this month with ex-PM's failed attempt to abrogated the Constitution and cling to power despite democratically losing parliamentary majority.
So, #Cuba's envoy in #Pakistan @ZenerCaro basically came to publicly defend ex-PM @ImranKhanPTI and openly criticize a Pak FedMin @betterpakistan who strictly responded to ex-PM's statement in a internal political matter. Interesting to see multiple foreign actors defending Khan.
The honorable Cuban Ambassador had no problem with the ex-PM dragging his country into domestic Pakistani political discussion, but has a problem when someone responds to ex-PM. This adds to the impression this is foreign meddling, taking sides in a domestic political matter.
