New Delhi. The swearing-in ceremony of PM Narendra Modi’s 3.0 government is going to be held on Sunday. Pakistan has not even congratulated Narendra Modi. Before Narendra Modi took oath as Prime Minister, Pakistan said that it wants good and friendly relations with all its neighbors including India. Pakistan’s Foreign Office claimed that it wants to resolve disputes through dialogue. However, when the spokesperson of Pakistan’s Foreign Office was asked why the country did not congratulate Narendra Modi on his election victory, she appeared evasive.
Responding to this question, Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zehra Baloch said that the people of India have the right to decide about their leadership. She said that the country has no right to comment on India’s electoral process. She further said that since the government is being formed in India, it would be premature to talk about congratulating Narendra Modi.
Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zehra Baloch, referring to BJP leaders mocking Pakistan in their election speeches, claimed that Pakistan is acting responsibly despite the rhetoric coming from India. It is noteworthy that after the general elections in India, many countries including the US have congratulated Narendra Modi, who was elected as the Prime Minister, after the BJP emerged as the largest party.
Who is in and who is out of Narendra Modi’s cabinet, who can become minister from JDU-TDP, how much share will Manjhi and Chirag get?
The heads of seven neighbouring countries are attending Narendra Modi’s swearing-in ceremony tomorrow. However, there has been no traditional message from Pakistan. When Imran Khan’s party PTI emerged as the largest party in 2018, Prime Minister Modi congratulated him before he took oath as Prime Minister. Earlier this year, PM Modi congratulated Shahbaz Sharif on becoming the Prime Minister of Pakistan. The BJP-led NDA has won 293 seats, while the opposition India Alliance has won 234 seats.
