Imran Khan wishes PM Modi on Lok Sabha election win

Islamabad, May 23 (IBNS): Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan wished his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi on his win in the Lok Sabha elections.

"I congratulate Prime Minister Modi on the electoral victory of BJP and allies," Khan said.

"Look forward to working with him for peace, progress and prosperity in South Asia," he added.

The relationship between the nuclear-armed neighbours over the last several months has not been good, to put it mildly.

India blamed Pakistan for sheltering terrorists who masterminded the February 14 attack in Pulwama that left 40 Indian soldiers dead. A few days later, Indian Air Force retaliated by bombing a terrorist facility at Balakot on the other side of the Line of Control. Pakistani and Indian fighter jets engaged in a dogfight a few days later that led to the capture of IAF wing commander Abhimanyu Varthaman. Pakistan, however, released the pilot after two days.

A major part of the BJP's campaign revolved around Modi's "tough stance" in respect to Pakistan.
