Pakistan maintains diplomatic silence on Indian elections

Pakistan maintains diplomatic silence on Indian elections

In a move underscoring its diplomatic stance, Pakistan has chosen to remain silent on the recently concluded elections in India. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch spoke about this during her weekly press briefing.

Narendra Modi was sworn in as Indian Prime Minister for a third term following the victory of the BJP-led alliance. Asked about the Indian elections, Baloch said: “Pakistan has no comments to offer regarding the elections or internal issues in India. »

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif notably congratulated Modi via a tweet, a gesture Baloch described as customary among state leaders. She stressed that this was standard diplomatic practice and did not elaborate on the correspondence.
