Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, Dec 18, 2022: A day after India launched a no-holds-barred attack on Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari for his "uncivilised" outburst against Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the former called PM Modi “butcher of Gujarat”, Pakistan minister Shazia Marri has now threatened India with “nuclear war.”

 

In a news conference on Saturday, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Shazia Marri said, “Pakistan knows how to answer. India should not forget that Pakistan has an atom bomb. Our nuclear status is not meant to remain silent. We will not back down if the need arises.”

Pakistan Minister Shazia Marri threatened India, saying the “country will not sit back if it is slapped. Pakistan will respond with equal intensity.”

Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Marri said, “India’s PM is only spreading hatred in the country. Hinduism and Hindutva have risen under the Modi government.”

She also called S Jaishankar’s comments at the UN a “propaganda” saying that “India is linking Muslims with terrorism.”

What did Bilawal Bhutto say at the UN

Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari responded to External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar’s “Hosting Osama Bin Laden” comment at the UN Security Council on Friday.

“I want to tell India that Osama bin Laden is dead, but the butcher of Gujarat lives and he is the Prime Minister of India,” Pakistan Foreign Minister Bhutto said.

“He (PM Modi) was banned from entering this country until he became the Prime Minister. This is the Prime Minister of the RSS and the Foreign Minister of the RSS. What is the RSS? The RSS takes inspiration from Hitler’s ‘SS’,” the Pak minister added.

BJP holds nationwide protests over Bhutto’s remarks on PM Modi

A day after Pakistan’s foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto called Prime Minister Narendra Modi “butcher of Gujarat”, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched a nationwide protest against him. Across the country, BJP workers took to the streets and burnt effigies of Bhutto while also raising anti-Pakistan slogans.

In Uttar Pradesh, the agitation against Bhutto’s remark started on Friday as BJP state president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary issued a statement calling his remarks against Modi "indecent" and "shameful". BJP workers staged a protest in Mathura on Friday and burnt an effigy of the Pakistani minister.

BJP leaders in Pune led by Maharashtra chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule held a protest at Tilak Chowk. The party leaders burnt Pakistan’s flags and also raised anti-Pakistan slogans.
