Former Pakistani Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has launched a scathing critique of the United States’ recent sanctions on Islamabad’s ballistic missile programme during a talk at the Oxford Union, questioning what he called the hypocrisy of global nuclear policies. “As far as the sanctions are concerned, for the US, the sanctions are like candy, they hand them out to everybody,” Bilawal said. His comments come amid mounting tensions between Washington and Islamabad after the US imposed fresh sanctions in December last year on several Pakistani entities linked to the country’s missile programme.
