Taking a strong exception to the statement of Bushra Bibi, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder’s wife, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Friday that the nation would break any hand that dared to sabotage Pakistan-Saudi Arabia friendship.

“No one could even think about levelling such allegations,” said the premier addressing the inauguration ceremony of the restoration project of Kachhi Canal that faced destruction in devastating floods in 2022.

Censuring the major opposition party, PM Shehbaz said, “People of such nature fail to realise how much damage their statements can cause to Pakistan.”

“If someone spews venom against Saudi Arabia, then what would they say about Pakistani nation, government, and its politicians,” he added. Regretting the sowing the seeds of hatred, the premier said such statements were driven by personal and political agendas.
