SUKKUR: Opposition Leader Khursheed Shah on Tuesday weighed in on Pakistan?s foreign policy and remarked that it failed to make an impact.

Shah, who was speaking to media in Sukkur, said that Pakistan has been fighting terrorists from the start yet it is being called a ?terrorist? state.

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has been claiming from the start that there was a desperate need for a foreign minister, earlier on in Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's tenure. ?Now, the failure of foreign policies has come to the forefront.?

Speaking about former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, he said that Nawaz had earlier said that he will accept the verdict of the court. However, now Nawaz is backtracking from his statement, he added,

Shah also said that PPP has worked tremendously to improve the lives of people in Sindh. ?People?s incomes witnessed a 125 percent increase under the PPP government,? he claimed.

On Sunday, Shah had said that Pakistan has paid a heavy price in the war against terrorism while addressing an Eid gathering in Sukkur.
