New Delhi: Pakistan’s Parliament witnessed high drama this week after a lawmaker alleged that several politicians and members of Parliament were allegedly working as agents of India’s external intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).
The explosive remarks, made during a heated parliamentary session, triggered immediate chaos inside the House and sparked intense debate across Pakistani media and social media platforms.
Opposition members demanded proof to support the allegations, while treasury bench lawmakers accused rivals of “playing politics with national security”.
Social media compares debate to spy thriller
The controversy quickly spilled onto social media, where users compared the unfolding political drama in Islamabad to an unreleased high-voltage espionage thriller.
Memes, edited video clips and sarcastic commentary flooded online platforms, with many users joking that the developments looked straight out of a spy movie script.
While allegations involving RAW are not entirely new in Pakistan’s political discourse, the latest claims have once again highlighted the deep mistrust and sharp political polarisation within the country’s political system.
The allegations have so far not been backed by any publicly available evidence, and no formal investigation has been announced regarding the claims made during the parliamentary proceedings.
