Ex-PM conveyed gratitude for meeting Hafiz Saeed, igniting sharp political reactions and global criticism.
The controversial acknowledgment has become a talking point in political circles, media debates, and international forums. Opposition leaders slammed the move, accusing the former Prime Minister of undermining national security interests.
The meeting with Hafiz Saeed, a globally designated terrorist and founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba, has been viewed as a diplomatic blunder that could strain relations with India and the wider international community. Analysts believe such interactions weaken a country’s global stance against terrorism and create doubts about its commitments to international peace.
Meanwhile, citizens and activists expressed anger on social media, calling the gesture an insult to victims of terrorism. Global watchdogs and international agencies are also expected to closely monitor the developments, as the event could have long-term consequences for bilateral ties and global security.
The controversy has not only sparked political turmoil but also opened debates on the accountability of leaders, the seriousness of anti-terror commitments, and the transparency of diplomatic engagements.
