Barrister Dr. Saif condemns PM’s “subservient diplomacy,” calls it a betrayal of Muslim Ummah amid Gaza and Iran crises
Shehbaz Sharif’s Flattering Policy is Against National Interests, Barrister Dr. Saif
PESHAWAR: Advisor to the Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Information and Public Relations, Barrister Dr. Saif has called Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s move to nominate U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize “the height of sycophantic politics.” He termed the nomination of a leader who rains bombs on Muslims for a peace prize as incomprehensible.
Barrister Dr. Saif pointed out that President Trump — the very person Shehbaz Sharif wishes to see as a Nobel laureate — not only ordered a direct attack on Iran but also rejected UN ceasefire resolutions in Gaza on eight occasions. Amidst the current tensions between Iran and Israel, instead of mediating, direct attacks are being launched on innocent civilians. Shehbaz Sharif, by remaining silent and still supporting Trump’s nomination, is committing a condemnable act. Dr. Saif added that even flattery has limits, and Shehbaz Sharif’s recent statements are not only shameful but also a clear display of complete subservience. Nominating Trump for the Nobel Prize is essentially an insult to the entire Muslim Ummah.
Addressing the Prime Minister directly, Barrister Dr. Saif said that Shehbaz Sharif must abandon his flattering behavior and develop the courage to say “Absolutely Not.” If sycophancy is a requirement for staying in power, then it would be far more honorable to become Prisoner No. 804. He stated that although Imran Khan is currently behind bars, his “Absolutely Not” policy has kept him alive in the hearts of the people. Imran Khan never traded the blood of the Muslim Ummah, but rather always worked for its honor, dignity, and elevation.
Barrister Dr. Saif emphasized that sacrificing national and public interests at the altar of sycophantic politics is unacceptable. He urged that Pakistan must stand on the international stage with pride and self-respect, not by nominating those who are responsible for attacks on the Muslim world.
