Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif’s Viral Video:
Although Pakistan lags far behind India in economic development, social progress, and other key areas, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif remains confident that Pakistan will surpass India one day. Not only that, but he also declared that if this does not happen, he should no longer be called Shehbaz Sharif. A video of his statement, made during an event in Pakistan’s Punjab province on Monday, has gone viral on social media.
During his visit to Dera Ghazi Khan in Punjab province, Shehbaz Sharif addressed a gathering where he spoke about his vision for Pakistan’s development. He emphasized his commitment to showcasing Pakistan’s progress on the world stage and bringing prosperity to the country. He also urged Pakistani citizens to work tirelessly to achieve this goal. Toward the end of his speech, buoyed by the enthusiastic response from the crowd, Shehbaz Sharif passionately slammed his fist on the podium and vowed to surpass India.
What Exactly Happened?
Addressing the people at the event, Shehbaz Sharif stated, “We will work day and night to achieve Pakistan’s progress. God has always watched over Pakistan. I am a follower of Nawaz Sharif, and today, I take an oath in his name that we will work together to make Pakistan great.”
While speaking about Pakistan’s development, he also referenced India, saying, “If we do not make Pakistan great again and surpass India, then I should not be called Shehbaz Sharif.”
Video Sparks Debate on Social Media
This video has sparked significant discussion on social media. While some support Sharif’s vision, others criticize him for making empty promises. Many Pakistani netizens have pointed out that despite such statements, Pakistan continues to rank low in global economic, social security, and living standard indices.
Interestingly, this statement comes just days after Shehbaz Sharif initiated efforts to resume Pakistan’s stalled dialogue with India. However, India has made it clear that no talks will take place until Pakistan takes concrete steps to eliminate terrorism from its soil.
