US Vice President JD Vance's visit to Islamabad is being discussed more for his fasting than for his diplomacy. It's being claimed that due to security reasons, Vance didn't eat a single morsel during the 21-hour marathon talks in Pakistan. His fasting diplomacy has sparked a flurry of memes on social media. Users are poking fun at his wife, Usha Vance, who is of Indian origin, saying he should have ordered food from his in-laws.

Islamabad: US Vice President JD Vance's visit to Pakistan and his marathon talks with Iran have not only stirred diplomatic circles but also sparked a wave of satire and discussion on social media. Citing reports, a social media user said that JD Vance didn't eat a single morsel during his stay in Islamabad due to security reasons. He went straight from the airport to the negotiating table and, after nearly 21 hours of discussions, left without eating or drinking anything. Social media users are taking a dig at his arduous journey. One user, Sandeep Parekh, wrote sarcastically, "Hey, you should have ordered it from your in-laws," a humorous reference to Vance's Indian-origin wife, Usha Vance.

Work or just a formality?
The report claims that Vance's behavior was as if he had come only to complete a formality. Despite a 21-hour discussion, the manner in which he returned without a formal dinner or rest has raised questions about the seriousness and outcome of the talks. Diplomatic experts believe that refraining from food and drink reflects America's extreme security concerns, but for the general public, it has become meme material on social media. This incident has also made clear that the bitterness and distrust between the US and Iran is so deep that even basic hospitality etiquette is now in doubt. Vance's fasting diplomacy remains a topic of discussion.
