Moreover, the BJP had opposed interaction with Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, pending satisfactory progress on the prosecution and punishment of the perpetrators of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which killed 164 people and injured more than 300. Yet Sharif was an honored guest at Modi’s inauguration, exchanging gifts with India’s newly affable leader.
此外，BJP此前反对与巴基斯坦总理沙里夫互动，叫停了起诉和惩罚2008年孟买袭击实施者的程序。孟买袭击案造成164人死亡，300多人受伤，其起诉该案实施者是一件深得人心的事。但沙里夫是莫迪就职仪式的座上宾，还与面容和蔼的印度新领导人交换了礼物。
