Diplomatic Silence: Shehbaz Sharif's Non-Condolence Sparks Outrage

Shehbaz Sharif and Nawaz Sharif faced criticism for not offering condolences on the death of former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. While global leaders sent messages, Pakistan's Prime Minister remained silent, raising questions on diplomatic relations, especially since they acknowledged former US President Jimmy Carter's passing.

Pakistan's Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, is under scrutiny for his decision not to offer public condolences on the death of Manmohan Singh, the former Prime Minister of India. Social media erupted with criticism, highlighting the longstanding diplomatic tensions between the two countries.

Despite global leaders extending their sentiments, the silence from both Shehbaz and his brother, Nawaz Sharif, reflects a complex political calculus. Islamabad did not hesitate to acknowledge the passing of former US President Jimmy Carter, pointing to a selective diplomatic approach.

Experts and citizens expressed their dismay over the perceived diplomatic insensitivity, noting that past leaders often prioritized humanity over politics during such times. Commentators argue that this silence marks a missed opportunity to reaffirm cross-border relations and show statesmanship.
