Pakistan’s Bilawal Bhutto and Jaishankar clasped hands during the Goa SCO dinner: Sources

Recently, photos of Bilawal Bhutto, the chairman of Pakistan’s People’s Party, and India’s External Affairs Minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar clasping hands during a dinner hosted by the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Goa, India, sparked quite a controversy. The images were widely shared on social media, with many people expressing surprise and criticism, given the historically tense relations between the two countries. In this blog, we will delve deeper into the context of this incident and explore its implications.

To begin with, it is important to understand the significance of the SCO in the region. The SCO is a political, economic, and military organization that was founded in 2001 by China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. India and Pakistan were granted observer status in 2005 and became full members in 2017. The organization aims to promote regional security, economic cooperation, and cultural exchanges among its member states.

Against this backdrop, the Goa dinner was held to welcome Pakistan as a full member of the SCO. Bilawal Bhutto, who was representing Pakistan at the event, was seen chatting and exchanging pleasantries with other dignitaries, including the Indian External Affairs Minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. However, it was the photo of the two clasping hands that drew the most attention.

Some people criticized Bilawal Bhutto for being too friendly with India, especially given the strained relations between the two countries. They argued that his actions were insensitive to the sentiments of the people of Pakistan, particularly those who have suffered due to India’s alleged human rights violations in Kashmir. On the other hand, some people saw this as a positive step towards improving relations between the two countries. They argued that such gestures of goodwill could pave the way for meaningful dialogue and cooperation in the future.

It is worth noting that this incident was not the first time that Pakistani and Indian officials have interacted in a friendly manner at international events. In fact, both countries have a long history of engaging in diplomatic talks and cultural exchanges, even as they continue to hold divergent positions on key issues such as Kashmir and terrorism.

In conclusion, the clasping of hands between Bilawal Bhutto and Subrahmanyam Jaishankar at the Goa SCO dinner was a significant event that sparked mixed reactions from people in both countries. While some saw it as a positive step towards improving relations between India and Pakistan, others criticized it as being insensitive to the concerns of the people of Pakistan. Regardless of these differing opinions, it is clear that such gestures of goodwill can play a crucial role in promoting peace and stability in the region. It remains to be seen whether this incident will lead to any tangible progress in bilateral relations, but it is certainly a step in the right direction.

Congress leader: “Kangana Ranaut once said she likes beef.” BJP retaliates

Published

on

A significant controversy ensued following Congress leader Supriya Shrinate’s controversial social media post about actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has criticized Maharashtra Opposition and Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar for claiming actor Kangana Ranaut’s post on Twitter about her beef preferences and the BJP’s decision to grant her a Lok Sabha election ticket.

Shaina NC, a BJP leader in Maharashtra, criticised Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar’s comments and other ludicrous remarks made by Congress leaders. She stated that Wadettiwar’s actions, including granting Kangana Ranaut a ticket due to her beef consumption, are not the first time Congress has made such ludicrous remarks.

Shaina criticizes Congress social media in-charge Supriya Shrinate’s post against Ranaut, claiming that Shrinate’s comments and Randeep Surjewala’s discussion about Hema Malini’s attributes are anti-women, despite her age.

Shaina pledged that all women would participate in the voting process, and the results on June 4 would provide a “fitting answer to Congress.”

The Prime Minister of India has ensured respect for women in various political parties, including Triple Talaq and Nari Shakti Vandan. If the Congress party lacks thought processes, the answer will be on June 4 when Indian women vote against the anti-woman Congress party.

Supriya Shrinate’s post that sparked controversy

Congress leader Supriya Shrinate’s controversial social media post about actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut, who received a BJP ticket from the Mandi constituency in Himachal Pradesh for the upcoming Lok Sabha election, sparked a massive controversy.

Kangana, in response to Shrinate’s post, emphasized that every woman deserves respect and dignity. She shared her 20-year career as an artist, which includes portraying various women, from naive girls in Queen to seductive spy in Dhaakad, goddesses in Manikarnika, demons in Chandramukhi, prostitutes in Rajjo, and revolutionary leaders in Thalaivii.

The Congress leader later revealed that someone with access to her social media accounts had posted objectionable content.
