Islamabad — According to an internal profile review which it seems that no one officially commissioned but everyone seems to reference, Chief Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s insistence on retaining the handle @CMShehbaz on X (formerly Twitter) is less of a branding decision, rather is more of a profound autobiographical confession. Senior aides with insight into the matter have said that the handle is not a stable-platform-handle, instead to think of it as a window into the former minister former chief minister current prime minister’s emotional administration, which allegedly has remained unchanged since childhood.
Profile review is based on anicdotes from sources close to the family who recounted a formative period long before various ministerships and televised and live and enforced addresses. Allegedly, back when Shehbaz and his elder brother Nawaz Sharif were still working long shifts at their father’s steel mill, returning home covered in grease instead of political expectations, the two boys would reportedly sit together in the courtyard and discuss international matters.
“… aur bhai jaan agar mein Texas ka Chief Minister hota to JFK ko kuch naheen hota. Ab bhook lag rahi hai. Aap Butt Karahi khaeinge?” — Former Chief Minister current Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to current brother former Prime Minister before ministerships at the tender age of 13.
Colleagues aware of the brothers Sharif’s early inclinations have reported that young elder Sharif showed clear signs of wanting to be in charge of a country, while young younger Sharif displayed an unwavering inclination towards being in charge of provinces. “He always had that Chief Minister energy,” a close uncle allegedly reminisced silently, revisiting in mind the CM’s (now PM) habit of assigning tasks to imaginary district commissioners whenever their mother asked him to clean his room.
Political analysts reviewing the chief prime minister’s social media behaviour claim the retention of @CMShehbaz proves his identity is not strictly tethered to official titles but rather to a profound internal sense of administrative destiny. They further note that even today, his posts maintain the tone of a man who has conviction about his position as his brother’s junior.
When pressed for comment, a senior official stated that changing the handle is “a matter under gentle consideration,” but insiders say the prime minister sees no urgency. “He feels it still represents him,” the aide said. “Some people define themselves by who they want to be. Shehbaz defines himself by who he already believes he has been since age nine.”
