After Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif congratulated Narendra Modi on being elected as the Prime Minister of India, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif tried to clear the air that there wasn’t a “message of love.”
“It is just a diplomatic compulsion to congratulate Modi on becoming the Indian PM,” stated Asif speaking on the Geo News programme Capital Talk on Monday.
He also said that Pakistan would never forget that Modi is a “murderer of Muslims” in India.
Modi is the second person in India’s political history after Jawaharlal Nehru to serve a third consecutive term as prime minister.
However, this time Modi’s party did not win an outright majority but with the support of 14 regional parties in his BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
