Pakistan defends Qureshi against alleged anti-Semitic remarks

Islamabad: Foreign Office spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said Friday that the Foreign Minister’s remarks made during his interview with the CNN cannot be construed as anti-Semitic by any stretch of the imagination.

“Any twist given to the Foreign Minister’s remarks would unfortunately prove the very point he was making. The right to freedom of expression must be respected equally by everyone,” he said citing FM Shah Mehmood Qureshi’s interview to CNN.
