Will relations with Pakistan improve? Again extended the hand of friendship! Modi sent best wishes

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday congratulated Shehbaz Sharif on his re-election as the Prime Minister of Pakistan. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), PM Modi said congratulations to Shehbaz Sharif on being sworn in as the Prime Minister of Pakistan. Shehbaz Sharif took oath as the new Prime Minister of Pakistan after being elected in the parliamentary session a day earlier. He held the post from April 2022 to August 2023, replacing cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan, who was ousted following a no-confidence vote.

Shehbaz is the younger brother of three-time Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. His appointment is controversial as his opponents claimed last month’s parliamentary elections were rigged in his favour. Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League party, PML-N, did not win enough seats to form a government, but formed a coalition with others to gain a majority, clearing the way for him to seek a second prime ministership. To become Prime Minister, he secured 201 votes in Parliament and defeated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supported candidate Omar Ayub, who received 92 votes. The swearing-in ceremony was held in the capital Islamabad on Monday. Sharif is the 24th Prime Minister in the 77-year history of Pakistan.
