'He can remove Pak from world picture': Shinde after Sharif crops PM Modi from SCO pic
Maharashtra deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde has criticized Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for cropping out Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi from a Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit photograph. Shinde stated that Pakistan should not engage in such actions and added that if Modi wishes, he can remove Pakistan from the world picture.
This statement followed Sharif's office sharing an edited SCO photograph that removed Modi and several other leaders, placing Sharif at the center. The original photograph, taken before the SCO Summit in Bishkek, showed heads of member states standing together. Shinde emphasized that the Indian armed forces, under Modi's leadership, defeated terrorist bases in Pakistan during Operation Sindoor, and stressed that Modi remains popular both domestically and internationally.
