Islamabad: A heated session in the Pakistan National Assembly on Friday took a dramatic turn as a visibly angry Member of Parliament launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, calling him a “Buzdil” (coward) who doesn’t even have the courage to mention Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s name. The MP’s fiery remarks come amid a wave of internal discontent and military setbacks following recent Indian strikes across Pakistani territory.

Frustrated MP Slams Shehbaz Sharif

In his outburst, the MP slammed the leadership's inaction during a critical time, saying, “When an army is led by a lion, they fight. But if an army is led by a vulture, it loses the war. Our chief is so cowardly that he cannot even take Modi's name. How do we expect him to motivate the Army?” His comments drew murmurs across the assembly, reflecting growing frustration within Pakistan's political corridors over the military and civilian leadership's silence and seeming helplessness.

Powerful explosions rocked multiple Pakistani cities on Thursday, with initial blasts reported in Lahore. Similar blasts were later heard in Rawalpindi, the military's garrison town and home to Pakistan’s General Headquarters (GHQ), raising alarm at the very heart of Pakistan’s defence establishment.

Blasts Reported In Several Pakistani Cities

In all, explosions were reported in at least 12 cities, including Karachi, Lahore, Gujranwala, Chakwal, Attock, Bahawalpur, Miyano, and Chor. While the exact cause remains under investigation, Pakistani military sources have blamed drones for the destruction. One explosion reportedly occurred just 20 km from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s official residence in Islamabad.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s de facto leader, Army Chief General Asim Munir, has remained conspicuously absent from the public eye, sparking speculation about internal disarray at the highest levels of the country’s military leadership. Amid rising panic and diplomatic uncertainty, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called for an emergency high-level meeting to evaluate the crisis and formulate a national response.
