Pakistani Foreign Minister SM Qureshi has once again raised eyebrows after falling to term Osama bin Laden, founder of al-Qaeda, as a terrorist. In an interview with an Afghan news channel, Qureshi was asked if Osama is a ‘martyr’, to which, he said, “I will let that pass.”Before that, the journalist had recalled how the Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan had called Osama bin Laden a ‘martyr’ in the country’s parliament. To this, Qureshi tried to make a case of misquoting saying, “He was quoted out of context. And, a particular section of the media paired it up.”
