\nAhsan Iqbal, Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives, has stated that despite being seven times larger in size, possessing an expansive landmass, and having centuries of statehood experience, India continues to suffer from an insecurity syndrome \u2014 in sharp contrast to Pakistan, which, with only 77 years of statehood and a comparatively smaller geography and population, demonstrates greater composure and maturity.
\nReferring to the tragic Jafarabad Express terrorist attack, Ahsan Iqbal noted that Pakistan responded in a responsible and mature manner by acknowledging internal security lapses and committing to addressing them, even while credible evidence pointed towards foreign involvement.

\nAhsan Iqbal further emphasized that since 1993, no political leader in Pakistan has resorted to exploiting anti-India sentiment for electoral purposes. In stark contrast, in India, invoking the \u201cPakistan card\u201d and stirring anti-Pakistan sentiments remains a recurrent feature of pre-election political campaigns.
\nHe described the irresponsible conduct of the Indian government and media as a striking irony, remarking, \u201cWhat an irony!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
