Minister of State (MoS) for Home Affairs Hansraj Ahir on Thursday said that the people of Pakistan have 'voted against terrorism by voting against Hafiz Saeed.'
Hafiz Saeed-backed Allahu Akbar Tehreek (AAT) has failed to win a single seat.
Speaking to media, Ahir said, 'It is clear that Pakistan's public did not help Hafiz Saeed win the elections. We hope that the government that is formed will make good relations with us. The best thing is that the public voted against terrorism by voting against Hafiz Saeed.'
MoS for Power RK Singh said, "I don't see any change because as far as India is concerned, important matters like export of terrorism by them are not going to change. Military used to decide this policy and they will do it now as well."
Speaking to ANI, Bhartiya Janta Party leader Shahnawaz Hussain said that the Pakistan elections took place under the shadow of Military's influence.
Pakistan went to polls on Wednesday and the counting of votes began soon thereafter in the evening.
Various political parties and journalists have alleged the elections to be rigged in favour of Imran Khan.
