July 31
The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday spoke to PTI Chairman Imran Khan, whose Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has emerged as the largest party on the country’s general elections last week, and called for peace and development in the South Asian neighbourhood.
“Narendra Modi spoke to Imran Khan, Chairperson of PTI and congratulated him for his party emerging as the largest political party in the National Assembly of Pakistan in the recently conducted general elections,” the External Affairs Ministry said in a statement.
Imran Khan has said that he will take oath as Prime Minister on August 11, the media reported on Monday.
Although PTI has emerged as the single largest party in the National Assembly in the July 25 polls, it is short of numbers to form its government independently.
To meet the required number of votes, the PTI leadership has reportedly approached the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan, the Grand Democratic Alliance, PML-Quaid and the Balochistan Awami Party, as well as Independents.
