In yet another copycat move, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has asked former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari to present the country’s “case for peace” on the global stage.
This comes as the Indian government shouldered the responsibility on 7 MPs to lead respective delegations to assigned countries and present India’s evidence and stance on the zero-tolerance policy against terrorism and the Pahalgam terror attack, which led to Operation Sindoor.
Pakistan Copies India Again
In another example of imitating India after facing humiliation in a four-day military escalation from May 7 to 10 during Operation Sindoor, Pakistan has asked Bhutto to present its case on a global stage.
Announcing the same, Bhutto said on X that he was contacted by Shehbaz Sharif, who asked him to lead a delegation.
“I was contacted earlier today by Prime Minister @CMShehbaz, who requested that I lead a delegation to present Pakistan’s case for peace on the international stage. I am honoured to accept this responsibility and remain committed to serving Pakistan in these challenging times,” he posted on X.
The last time Pakistan copied India was not too long ago, when their Prime Minister visited a military base in Sialkot, copy-pasting the move from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who went to Adampur airbase in Punjab and interacted with air warriors and jawans. He also addressed them with the S-400 air defence system in the background — which Pakistan had claimed to have shot down.
Shehbaz Sharif too visited the Sialkot base and addressed the Pakistani army soldiers and claimed “victory” against India in the brief 4-day air battle.
Indian Delegations To Various Countries
Pakistan’s mimicking of India comes as the Modi government in India formed teams to visit different parts of the world. Each delegation would comprise leaders from various political parties, including the Opposition, and seasoned diplomats.
Shashi Tharoor (INC), Ravi Shankar Prasad (BJP), Sanjay Kumar Jha (JDU), Baijayant Panda (BJP), Kanimozhi Karunanidhi (DMK), Supriya Sule (NCP), and Shrikant Eknath Shinde (Shiv Sena) will lead their respective delegations.
Sources told CNN-News18 that the first location that will be visited by the committee will be Guyana on May 24. This delegation will arrive in the United States by June 2 and is expected to remain in the country up to the first week of the month.
