On Thursday, Bilawal Bhutto made a highly offensive remark: “Osama bin Laden is gone, but the Butcher of Gujarat remains, and he is the Prime Minister of India.” He was reacting to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar terming Pakistan as the ‘epicenter of terrorism’.
Responding to Pakistan’s foreign minister’s remarks, India on Friday called Pakistan’s aggressive personal attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi a “new low even for Pakistan”. In a clear and unequivocal rejection of Bilawal Bhutto’s UN statements, New Delhi said that Pakistan does not have the qualms to blame India and “Make in Pakistan terrorism” must end.
“These comments are a new low, even for Pakistan. Pakistan’s foreign minister has apparently forgotten this day in 1971, which was a direct reflection of the genocide perpetrated by Pakistani rulers against ethnic Bengalis and Hindus. The result was. Unfortunately, Pakistan doesn’t seem to have it.” According to a statement released by India’s Ministry of External Affairs, there has been a lot of change in the treatment of its minorities.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has called Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto’s personal statements about Prime Minister Narendra Modi as “highly shameful and derogatory” and announced a statewide protest on Saturday.
“His words are highly derogatory, defamatory and full of cowardice,” the BJP said in a statement on Friday.
The investigation into the 2002 Gujarat riots cleared PM Modi of any wrongdoing. Earlier this year, the Supreme Court rejected an appeal against his acquittal in a murder case.
More than 1,000 people were killed in three days of unrest in Gujarat, and the state police were accused of failing to contain the riots, which broke out after a train carriage carrying pilgrims was set on fire at Godhra In which 59 people were killed.
