"Pakistan is not hell. People there are just like us. They treated us very well," she had reportedly said after a recent visit to Islamabad as part of a SAARC delegation of young lawmakers.
Her remarks had come as a counter to Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, who had said "going to Pakistan is same as going to hell."
