No invitation for Imran Khan in Modi’s oath-taking ceremony: Reports

Pakistan has played down a decision by the Indian government not to invite Prime Minister Imran Khan to Thursday’s swearing-in ceremony of PM Narendra Modi, saying India’s ‘internal politics’ did not permit him to extend an invitation.

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told a news channel Dawn that “Modi’s entire focus during Lok Sabha Election was on Pakistan-bashing. It was unwise to expect that he can get rid of this narrative [soon]”.
