THIS refers to media reports about the European Union’s demand on Pakistan to condemn Russia over its role in Ukraine. First, the EU must ask India, its darling, to condemn Russia over its role in Ukraine. Then the EU may demand any statement against Russia from Pakistan.

Pakistan may also demand of the EU to first ask India to honour its commitment in the UN about the plebiscite in Indian-occupied Kashmir under the auspices of UN forces before they wish a statement from Pakistan on Ukraine.
