It is pertinent to note that the PM was referring to the barrage of criticism on Qatar including boycotts and slogans by the west accusing the oil-rich nation of suppressing human rights.
Last month, its ruler Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani said Qatar has been hit by an “unprecedented campaign” of criticism over preparations for the football World Cup, calling the attacks “defamation”.
“Since we won the honour of hosting the World Cup, Qatar has been subjected to an unprecedented campaign that no host country has faced,” the emir had said in a speech.
