Amit Shah reframes Pakistan’s mediation as India’s win and it reeks of coping mechanism

A video of Indian Minister of Home Affairs Amit Shah speaking in the Indian parliament is making serious rounds online — and it’s not landing the way it probably was intended.

In the clip, Shah says: “Whatever India has done or not done, does not matter. So what if Pakistan is mediating between USA and Iran, because when Pakistan becomes a part of India, this too shall be a win for us, it's ultimately a win for India no need to worry.”

He goes on to add: “Iran will fall, then Pakistan will fall, and then there will be Israel and India.”

Pakistani social media users wasted no time jumping in, and the comment sections turned into a full-blown drag session. Many called out the remarks as absurd and out of touch, questioning how such statements were being made in a formal parliamentary setting.

“Wow.. they are making their people fool by doing this mockery in parliament. Carry on you fools,” one commenter noted.

“Centuries of Gobar (cow dung) eating habits have done serious damage to their mental faculties. They belong in some mental hospital, not a parliament,” another noted.

One tweet showed their obsession with Pakistan.

User Politi Mind did some maths for them: "Add 270 Million Muslims to an already 270 Million population. You do know India is Democracy right? In 15-20 years Mughals from Mughalpura Lahore will be sitting in Red Fort ruling again."

And another user summed it up well that Amit Shah is right, there really is no need to worry.

The clip is blowing up at a time when Indian media and social platforms have been buzzing over Pakistan’s reported role in mediating between the US and Iran. From TV debates to opinion pieces in The Times of India, there’s been a noticeable attempt to explain why Pakistan’s diplomatic involvement “isn’t a loss for India.” But the volume of the conversation itself is telling as the underlying sentiment is reads like frustration at being left out.

For the past few days, Indian media, commentators, and social media users have been unusually fixated on one thing: why Pakistan is even part of the conversation. There’s been a clear attempt to explain it away — to frame it as irrelevant, temporary, or simply not worth attention. And yet, the volume of that conversation tells a different story.

What started as a political statement has now turned into viral content, meme material, and a running joke across Pakistani social media.
