S Jaishankar shook hands with Ayaz Sadiq of Pakistan

The Pakistani leader who was shaken by Foreign Minister S Jaishankar is Sardar Ayaz Sadiq. Ayaz Sadiq is the Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan and is considered close to Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. However, this meeting is said to be completely informal. It is said that there was no discussion on Indo-Pak relations or any political issue during Jaishankar’s handshake with the Pakistani minister, but as soon as this picture went viral, there was a deluge of comments on social media.
