Are we your slaves . . . that whatever you say, we will do?&#187; Khan remarked while speaking at a political event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EU letter was in response to Pakistan\u2019s abstention from voting on a United Nations General Assembly motion denouncing Russia\u2019s special operation in Ukraine, &#171;I want to ask the European Union ambassadors: Did you write such a letter to India?&#187; Khan said as reported by Sputniknews.com.
