PM Modi Congratulates Shehbaz Sharif On 2nd Term As

Pak PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday
congratulated Shehbaz Sharif on taking oath as
the prime minister of Pakistan.
Sharif on Monday took the oath as prime minister
of Pakistan, assuming the cash-strapped country's
reins for a second time, nearly a month after an
inconclusive election marred by allegations of vote
rigging.
PM Modi said on X, "Congratulations to
@CMShehbaz on being sworn in as the Prime
Minister of Pakistan." In the February 8 elections, Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party
came second. Independent candidates backed by jailed former prime minister Imran Khan's Pakistan
Tehreek-e-Insaf won the most seats but failed to get a majority in Parliament.
