Another similarity between Modi and Sharif is their tendency to disregard human rights and civil liberties. Both leaders have been criticized for their record on human rights and civil liberties.

1yMost of the people will criticise you for comparing Modi and Shahbaz sharif but I think this is the most relevant comparison. Shahbaz sharif failed to deliver whatever he and his party promised to us and now the whole country is facing this economic crises because of their incompetence. Same goes to Mr Modi.
