Pak faces yet another embarrassment, this time from 'friend' Turkey

The boorish Foreign Minister of Pakistan, Bilawal Bhutto was set to travel to Turkey. However, after Turkey's rebuke, he would not be able to enjoy luxuries in Ankara now.

New Delhi, Feb 9: Gradually but definitely, even the friends of Pakistan have started realizing that a Pakistani Prime Minister's visit is just about begging for money. As Turkey is going through one of the worst natural calamities in the recent decades, Pakistan unabashedly was trying to go on with its scheduled visit of its Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. However, Turkey is in no mood to entertain the Pakistani leadership and said a curt 'no' to any such travel for now.

As the media reports have started circulating, Pakistan is facing another embarrassment. This is another blow to its goal to get some money from friendly countries. The best part is that loudmouth Foreign Minister of Pakistan, Bilawal Bhutto too was to travel to Turkey. However, after Turkey's rebuke, he would not be able to enjoy luxuries in Ankara. Earlier, he was seen enjoying holiday stays in Davos during the World Economic Forum where Pakistan had no business to be in.

Pak doesn't have much to offer to Turkey

Although Pakistan has expressed its condolences towards Turkey that has lost thousands of people in the recent earthquake, it has not much to offer in terms of assistance, especially as it is on the way to bankruptcy. Earlier, Pakistan's Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb told the media that PM Sharif would meet Erdogan and express his condolences for the widespread destruction due to the earthquake and the huge loss of lives.

The message from the Pakistani minister was passed out without paying any attention to the fact that the host Turkey is facing a natural disaster. The whole country is running for life and asking for global assistance; however, for Pakistan it was quite important that their Prime Minister visit Turkey, ask for some money to run his own country. The cancellation of the Turkey visit should have come first from Pakistan given the condition in Turkey but it did not come.

Needless to say, the reply from Turkey has flatly asked Pakistan to hold on the visit as it is facing huge natural calamity and it cannot host Sharif, the Pakistani Prime Minister.

History of Pak's begging habits

Earlier last month, Pak PM Sharif himself admitted that his country has a long history of begging and even friendly nations know it has only one goal and that is, money. For decades, it has been receiving money from the US and now China. At times, Arab countries also helped in the name of Islam but that too has started diminishing in the recent years. Sharif admits that some countries don't even pick his phone as they realize it would be just for 'money'.
