After Imran Khan and his party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) emerged victorious in the recent Pakistan elections, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Khan.
In a call that took place at 09:00 PM on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Imran Khan and hoped that the 2 nations will work towards peace. The duration of the call was not known.
“They recalled their meeting in December 2015 and conversation from that time…and hoped to pick up the thread from there,” a top source told the media.
“Prime Minister expressed hope that democracy will take deeper roots in Pakistan,” said an official statement by the Ministry of External Affairs, indicating India’s support to the democratic process in Pakistan, where political parties have expressed concerns over its fairness.

He also reiterated his vision of peace and development in the entire neighborhood, the statement said.
Imran Khan is to swear-in as the Prime Minister on the 11th of August, as reported by the media.
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.
