Pak senator praises SP & AAP for criticizing Modi after Pahalgam
A significant political moment unfolded in Pakistan’s Parliament when Senator Saifullah Abro made remarks that drew widespread attention. Speaking in the Senate of Pakistan, he praised India’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Samajwadi Party (SP) for criticizing the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi following the recent Pahalgam terror attack.
The attack, which took place in the tourist town of Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, claimed 26 lives and triggered widespread grief and outrage across India. In the aftermath, opposition parties questioned the government’s handling of security and intelligence, leading to differing political responses.
Abro’s remarks highlighted these internal political reactions in India and were widely shared on social media, drawing mixed responses. While leaders across India unanimously condemned the attack and expressed solidarity with the victims, their political positions varied.
Some observers also found it unusual that such commentary on India’s domestic politics was made in Pakistan’s Senate, suggesting it may have been intended to highlight divisions within India’s political landscape.
The episode reflects how major security incidents in the region often carry cross-border political implications. Meanwhile, Indian authorities continue to investigate the attack, working to identify those responsible and prevent similar incidents in the future.
