Islamabad (Pakistan) – Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in the presidential election by posting on ‘X’ when it  is banned in Pakistan. Interestingly, it was the Shahbaz Sharif government that imposed the ban. Now, it is Shahbaz who has congratulated Trump by violating the ban, Pakistani citizens have criticised him of violating the law. Sharif used the VPN system for the post.

Congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump on his historic victory for a second term! I look forward to working closely with the incoming Administration to further strengthen and broaden the Pakistan-U.S. partnership. @realDonaldTrump

Criticising PM Sharif on social media, one wrote, “Mr Trump, this Joker is using VPN to congratulate you. Elon Musk (owner of ‘X’), ‘X’ has been banned in Pakistan.”

Editorial Perspectives

• Can such a Prime Minister who himself imposes the ban then himself violates it to ever give the country the rule of law ?

• No matter how much Pakistan congratulates Trump, it should remember that Pakistan will not benefit from it !
