Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is under intense pressure following what he described as India’s defeat against Pakistan.
In a statement posted on X, Khawaja Asif said personal attacks by India or attempts to portray him as mentally unstable would not resolve the real issue.
He said a propaganda campaign against him could not restore Modi’s reputation after the setback against Pakistan.
The defence minister also referred to Rahul Gandhi, saying the Congress leader had raised questions over international honours awarded to Modi.
Khawaja Asif added that a British newspaper had also questioned the credibility and transparency of the awards received by the Indian prime minister.
He said attempts to create artificial praise for Modi abroad would ultimately fail.
