Davos:

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is facing massive backlash from the people of his own country after joining the US President Donald Trump-led โ€œBoard of Peace,โ€ an initiative purportedly aimed at ensuring peace in Gaza.ย 

Several political leaders and parties in Pakistan have strongly criticised Sharifโ€™s decision, calling it poorly thought out and morally questionable.

Unilateral decision, says PTI

Rebuking the prime ministerโ€™s move, Imran Khanโ€™s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) stated that such a significant foreign policy decision should not have been taken unilaterally. The party emphasised that the move required consultations with all major political stakeholders and thorough scrutiny by parliament before being finalised.ย 

Former law minister slams move

Pakistanโ€™s former law minister Babar Awan said Sharif had made a big mistake by accepting Trumpโ€™s offer and his habit of โ€œboot-polishingโ€ has caused significant damage to the nation.ย ย 

โ€œSitting on some Board of Peace just to please Trump, without holding an international criminal like Netanyahu accountable for his war crimes, is treason against the Palestinian cause. This blunder is a defiance of Quaid-e-Azamโ€™s command and a historic mistake. Shehbaz Sharifโ€™s habit of boot-polishing has significantly damaged Pakistan,โ€ he posted on X.

Under the agreement, Pakistan has to now send its force in Gaza and fight to disarm Hamas. Pakistan, which has often slammed Israel for attacks in Gaza, has ultimately decided to comply with Donald Trumpโ€™s to be in the US’ good books. The people of Pakistan have strongly criticized Sharif for what they see as blatant hypocrisy, asserting that the latter was โ€œsellingโ€ the country to the US.
