Modi’s statement irresponsible, shameful: Chaudhry Nisar

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said on Tuesday the statement of Narendra Modi, Bharatiya Janata Party’s candidate for India s premiership, a few days back regarding attacking Pakistan was irresponsible and shameful.

Modi should first decide where Dawood Ibrahim is living and then he should dream of attacking Pakistan, he said in a statement issued here.

The minister said it seemed that Modi had not learnt a lesson from his shameful actions as the chief minister of Gujrat which earned him a bad name. He said this statement from an expected Indian prime minister and leader of a major political party was provocative and condemnable showing enmity towards Pakistan touching last limit.

Narendra Modi had crossed all limits in his enmity towards Pakistan and Muslims and his election as Indian prime minister would destabilize the region, he added.

The Interior Minister said those who were levelling charges that Pakistan was sheltering Dawood Ibrahim and thinking to launch an operation on its soil should know that neither Pakistan was a weak country to be afraid of such threats nor the Pakistani nation could be threatened with such irresponsible statements.

Ch Nisar said the efforts of the Pakistani government for peace in the region should not be construed as its weakness. Its leadership, people and particularly its armed forces have the right and power to pay back in the same coin, he added.
