Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended congratulations to Shehbaz Sharif for his oath-taking ceremony as the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
Sharif assumed office on Monday for the second time, taking charge of the country’s leadership amidst financial challenges, following a contentious election marked by allegations of vote tampering.
Expressing his sentiments on X, Modi stated, “Congratulations to @CMShehbaz on his swearing-in as the Prime Minister of Pakistan.”
In the elections held on February 8, Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) secured the second position. Although independent candidates supported by imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) emerged with the most seats, they fell short of securing a parliamentary majority.
