India's foreign policy drew praise from an unlikely quarter on Sunday - from Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, who commended New Delhi's independent stand on foreign policy matters.
The comment came during a speech in which the Pakistan Prime Minister listed his government's achievements as he faces the opposition's no-confidence motion against him. The vote will take place on March 25.
"Main aaj Hindustan ko daad deta hun (I praise our neighbouring country Hindustan) as they always had independent foreign policy. Today, India is in their (America) alliance and they are part of QUAD (Quadrilateral Security Dialogue); they say that are neutral. They are importing oil from Russia despite sanctions because their policy is for the betterment of people," Mr Khan said during a public rally in the Malakand area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Unlike fellow members of the Quad alliance - Japan, Australia and the United States - India has abstained in three UN votes condemning Moscow's actions, calling only for a halt to the violence.
