New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ravi Shankar Prasad has strongly criticised a group of Pakistani nationals who had raised anti-India slogans outside a venue in Copenhagen, Denmark where an Indian parliamentary delegation was interacting with the members of Indian diaspora.
While he was addressing the Indian community, he described the protests as a sign of desperation, that the demonstrators were acting under directives of handlers in Pakistan. He said that such actions are reflecting Pakistan’s opposed stance against India.
Prasad also drew attention to the suffering of people in Pakistan occupied Kashmir and Balochistan and that there are many who are desperate to come to India in the face of the ongoing subjugation and the inhumane treatment that they face.
He further pointed out that Pakistan is experiencing significant turmoil and that India has fought four traditional wars, none of which has been initiated by India. He also highlighted the fact that Pakistan had also lost those wars. He also added, that the Pakistan envisioned by Jinnah has now become a military run enterprise.
The Indian parliamentary delegation in Copenhagen comprises of members such as BJP MP Daggubati Purandeswari, Samik Bhattacharya, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi, Congress MPs Ghulam Ali Khatana and Amar Singh, former Union Minister MJ Akbar, and former Ambassador Pankaj Saran.
Priyanka Chaturvedi had emphasised the all the political parties needs to stand united in combating the issue as contentious as terrorism. They all, need to stand together as Indians, despite their existing political differences.
She also criticised the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for providing financial assistance to Pakistan.
As we were coming here, we saw some flags, and you all would know what those flags are. And I thought to myself, the IMF loan is coming in handy, and I hope those giving it the IMF loan realise what it’s being used for,” she said.
This incident in Copenhagen further emphasised the deepening tensions between India and Pakistan due to the aftermath of the recent Pahalgam attack and India’s bold response to it by carrying out “Operation Sindoor”.
