New Delhi, May 10: After Congress leader Satyanarayan Gangaram Pitroda (Sam Pitroda), now a controversial statement has come from Mani Shankar Aiyar. A new political controversy has started regarding this statement of Mani Shankar Aiyar. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has once again attacked Congress party.
In this statement, Mani Shankar Aiyar has said that Pakistan is a sovereign nation and should be respected, it also has a nuclear bomb. A video of Mani Shankar Aiyar related to this statement has been shared on social media.
Senior leader Mani Shankar Aiyar has given a controversial statement during an interview saying that India should hold talks with Pakistan. India should not increase its military strength, because this could lead to Islamabad deploying nuclear weapons against New Delhi, which could increase problems.
Senior leader Mani Shankar Aiyar has also said that India should respect Pakistan. This is because the neighboring country has nuclear bombs. If we do not respect them then they may think of nuclear attack on India.
Mani Shankar Aiyar also said that if the government wants, it can talk strictly to Islamabad but if it does not respect the neighboring country, it may have to pay a heavy price. He also said in a warning tone that Pakistan has nuclear bombs, we also have them but what if someone decides to drop this bomb in Lahore, its radiation will take only a few seconds to reach Amritsar.
No official statement has yet come from the Congress party on this statement of Iyer. However, Congress leader Rashid Alvi distanced himself from Mani Shankar Aiyar’s statement and said that he is not a part of the Congress party. This view of his is personal. At present, the controversy does not seem to be stopping after this statement of Iyer.
Indian Overseas Congress President Sam Pitroda could not bear the criticism of his allegedly racist statement, hence he had to resign. Now after this latest statement of Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has once again attacked Congress.
On the recent statement of Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar, union Minister Anurag Thakur said that the Congress leader lives in India but his heart lives in Pakistan. He also said that India knows how to give a befitting reply to Pakistan.
On this statement of Iyer, union Minister and BJP leader Rajiv Chandrashekhar has said that the Congress Party has become a supporter of Pakistan and Pakistan-based terrorism. He also said that whether it is Sam Pitroda or Mani Shankar Aiyar, their statements reflect the ideology and policies of the Congress, despite this, today again the Congress will try to distance itself from Mani Shankar Aiyar.
