Imran Khan: Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan, who spewed venom against India, is seen changing these days. On Monday, he gave a surprising statement to India. Imran Khan said that he wanted to improve strained relations with India during his tenure, but the abrogation of Kashmir’s special status became an ‘obstacle’.
The 70-year-old cricketer-turned-politician also said that the then army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa was more inclined to have better relations with India. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Khan said that he wanted to improve relations with India during his three-and-a-half-year tenure, but the ideology of the RSS and the abolition of the special status (of Jammu and Kashmir) became an obstacle.
