Lok Sabha Elections 2024: After former Indian Overseas Congress President Sam Pitroda, who made racist remarks about inheritance tax and Indians, now the statement of another Congress leader has come to light. Senior party leader Mani Shankar Aiyar has given a controversial statement regarding Pakistan.
What did Mani Shankar Aiyar say…?
Mani Shankar Aiyar said that India should respect Pakistan because the neighboring country has a nuclear bomb. If we do not respect them then they may think of nuclear attack on India. Iyer said that India should not forget that Pakistan also has nuclear weapons. I don't understand why the present government is saying that we will not talk to Pakistan because there is terrorism there. It is important to understand that communication is very important to eliminate terrorism. Otherwise, Pakistan will think that India is arrogantly belittling us in the world. In such a situation, any madman from Pakistan can use this bomb.
It won't take eight seconds to reach Amritsar…
Mani Shankar warned that Pakistan has nuclear bombs. We also have it but what if some madman decides to drop this bomb from Lahore. This radiation will not take even eight seconds to reach Amritsar. If we respect them they will remain calm but if we keep showing them small then some madman will come and throw a bomb.
Pakistan is also a sovereign nation: Mani Shankar
The Congress leader said that I am not saying that we should think about how our problems will be solved? This is the work of experts. All I'm saying is that you can't fix the situation by showing hatred or pointing guns. We have to understand that Pakistan is also a sovereign nation, it is respected. We should speak strictly while maintaining their respect. What is happening now? We are not talking, this is increasing the tension.
stop talking about last 10 years
Iyer said that we have worked very hard to strengthen relations between India and Pakistan. But all talks have stopped for the last 10 years. We should show strength when the other person does not have strength. Its strength is in Rawalpindi. If misunderstanding spreads then there will be a lot of trouble. He said that amidst the threat of war with Pakistan, Rajiv Gandhi had found a path for peace. But today there are possibilities of peace with Pakistan but Modi ji wants war.
