Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is under fire after a speech at the Gaza Peace Summit where he showered former US President Donald Trump with significant praise. Sharif credited Trump with preventing a devastating nuclear war between India and Pakistan and suggested he deserved a Nobel Peace Prize. These statements, delivered in Trump’s presence, have sparked a wave of criticism within Pakistan. Social media users and prominent media figures alike have condemned the Prime Minister’s remarks as excessive flattery and a sell-out of national self-respect. The sentiment among many Pakistanis is that their leaders, including Army Chief Asim Munir, have become so desperate for foreign favor that they are willing to sacrifice the nation’s dignity. The incident has led to global mockery and serious introspection about Pakistan’s diplomatic standing and leadership.
