Following the April 22, 2025 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is facing criticism for repeatedly echoing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s language in public statements. Sharif has mimicked phrases like “zero tolerance for terror” and “united national resolve,” prompting backlash and satire online. Critics in both India and Pakistan accuse him of lacking originality and trying to deflect blame amid accusations linking Pakistan to the attack. The mimicry has heightened tensions between the two countries, raising concerns over Pakistan’s crisis communication strategy. (PC: The Week)
