India, Oct. 14 -- Several users on social media have criticised Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif's praise for US President Donald Trump at the Peace Summit in Egypt on Tuesday. Users on social media wrote that Sharif, in his speech, made a mockery of Pakistan by attempting to flatter the US president.

The incident took place when Trump halted his speech at the summit in Egypt to ask Sharif, who was standing behind him with other world leaders, to say a few words.

Grabbing the opportunity, Sharif went on to heap praises on Trump, calling him "a man of peace" and emphasising that Pakistan had nominated the US President for the Nobel Peace Prize .

He went on to refer to Trump as a "great president" and lauded him for his "exemplary leadership"....
