Ajmer (Rajasthan): All India Sufi Sajjadanshin Council (AISSC) Chairman Hazrat Syed Naseeruddin Chishty has slammed Pakistan after its foreign minister made derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said, "My advice to Bhutto is not to compare India with Pak as our Constitution guarantees freedom of religion to all. Every Muslim feels proud to be an Indian".
Naseeruddin Chishty asserted that Pakistan should remember that Indian Muslims are far more secure & in better condition than Pakistani Muslims. Bilawal Bhutto has forgotten that terrorist Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan by American forces right under the nose of Pakistani govt, he added.
Chishty further said, "I strongly condemn the venomous language used by Pakistan Foreign Minister against PM Modi. Bilawal Bhutto has not only downgraded the position of his portfolio but also of his entire nation".
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged a demonstration against Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto for his remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. BJP's Maharashtra chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule, several party MLAs and other leaders took part in the protest at Tilak Chowk in the morning. They burnt Pakistan's flags and also raised anti-Pakistan slogans.
"We will not tolerate any statement against our prime minister. PM Narendra Modi is the one who is striving hard to save our Hindu religion, and Pakistan is unable to see it. That is why they are making such statements. In future, we will not tolerate such remarks from Pakistan," Bawankule said.
BJP state women's wing head Chitra Wagh, former Pune mayor Murlidhar Mohol also took part in the protest. The Pakistani foreign minister made remarks against PM Modi and slammed the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) after India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar highlighted at the United Nations Security Council meeting the neighbouring country's support to various terror groups and described the country as the "epicentre of terrorism".
Meanwhile, Bharatiya Janata Party activists on Saturday staged demonstrations in different parts of Gujarat against the remark. The protests were held in Rajkot, Vadodara, Gandhinagar, Botad, Mahisagar, Junagadh and many other places. BJP activists raised slogans against Bhutto and also burnt his effigies in some places.
In Gandhinagar, a delegation led by state BJP's Yuva Morcha president Prashant Korat submitted a memorandum criticising Pakistan and the minister to Governor Acharya Devvrat at Raj Bhavan. "What Bhutto said was an insult to the entire country and its countrymen, not just PM Modi. BJP workers, as well as citizens, have joined a state-wide protest against Bhutto's remarks," Korat told reporters. (With Agency inputs)
