In a sharp and hard-hitting rejoinder to the Pak Senate resolution, the veteran BJP leader and former Union Minister Shanta Kumar, on Saturday advised Pakistan to refrain from abetting terrorists’ attacks in India. He advised Pakistan to refrain from provoking terrorism against India and should concentrate on the development of the people.
“If you indulge in hitting India and kill innocent people including women and children India too could exercise its right of defense.” History of thousands of years was a witness to the fact that India never attacked any country, but faced invaders who had looted tones of gold, silver and jewels from the peaceful people and the places of worship.
Decrying the threats by some Pakistan leaders of atom bombs Shanta said it was “imprudent and childish” to hurl such threats in the atomic age. The world powers and India were keeping round the clock constant vigil on politically immature countries under the influence of terrorists against the misuse of atomic energy. “How can those who do not care for their own lives will spare the lives of others IJ” he asked. What Pervez Musharraf, former dictator of Pakistan, was only exposing his perversity and frustration which he was inflicted, Shanta said.
He said Pakistan should set his own house in order by stopping proxy war against India.The question of India chasing Pak- terrorists would not arise. Pakistan need not be panicked as the solution of the problem was in the hands of Pakistan. She should restrain from harming India and obviouly India would never harm Pakistan as a friendly gesture, he said.
He said the tragedy was that some of the Pakistan leaders were surviving on hate-India campaign. The so-called Azad Kashmir Radio in occupied Kashmir had been spewing venom against India since 1947. He expressed confidence that the right-minded people of both the countries would earnestly work to usher in an era of friendship and prosperity between the two countries.
