Shehbaz Sharif congratulates Modi on assuming Indian prime minister office

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Monday felicitated Narendra Modi as he took oath of the office of the Prime Minister of India.

 Taking on X, PM Shehbaz Sharif wrote, “Felicitations to Narendra Modi on taking oath as the Prime Minister of India.”

Narendra Modi was sworn in as India’s prime minister for a third term on June 9 in a grand ceremony at the presidential palace in Delhi.

Modi’s BJP-led National Democratic Alliance won the general election with 293 seats but worse-than-expected election results left him reliant on coalition partners to govern. The election saw a resurgence of India’s opposition, which won 234 seats.

The leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party took his oath, saying he would “do right to all manner of people without affection or ill-will”.

Thousands of guests have been attending his inauguration at Delhi’s presidential palace. Among them are the heads of neighboring Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives – but not Pakistan or China.
