Islamabad: Sajid Tarar, a Republican Party leader and founder of American Muslims for former president Donald Trump, said that India has flourished under Prime Minister Narendra, and it will help Pakistan if a leader like him comes to the fore.

According to the Pakistani-American businessman from Baltimore, PM Modi's emphasis on nationalism has positively impacted Indians both in their home country and abroad, particularly in the United States, where they excel in important fields.

“Modi's slogan of nationalism has worked well for Indians in India and also Indians living and working in the United States, where they dominate critical areas. When that happens, you know a nation has arrived,” Tarar told PTI news agency. He noted that a country's growth is evident in its ability to influence power in Washington, highlighting that the rise of Indian tech entrepreneurs has bolstered the Indian community abroad. Tarar suggested that Pakistan should take note and prioritize education to achieve similar success.
