Pak minister's attack on Modi unites Cong, BJP

NEW DELHI/ISLAMABAD: Breaking from their mutual acrimony, the two main national parties -Congress and BJP- joined forces against Pakistan on Wednesday, slamming a statement on Narendra Modi by the Pakistani interior minister.

Pakistani interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said in a statement on Tuesday said Islamabad is not afraid of "threats" from those accusing it of sheltering Dawood Ibrahim. "This provocative and condemnable statement of expected Prime Minister of India and leader of major political party is touching last limit of enmity towards Pakistan," he was quoted as saying by Pakistan's official news agency.

Khan said such people should realise that "neither is Pakistan a weak country to be afraid of such threats, nor the Pakistani nation can be impressed with such irresponsible statements". "Modi should first decide where Dawood Ibrahim is living and then he should dream of attacking Pakistan". He also said Modi as India's PM would "destabilize regional peace" because be had not learnt any lesson from his "shameful" actions as chief minister.

He was responding to Modi's remarks to a Gujarati TV channel that he would attempt to bring back Dawood Ibrahim to face justice in India.

BJP spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi responded sharply to Nisar's comments, saying Modi had never spoken about attacking Pakistan, instead he was being critical of present home minister Sushilkumar Shinde. "We will tell Islamabad to mend their ways. The manner in which they have been functioning and trying to work with India will not work," Lekhi said.

The Congress joined BJP in attacking the Pakistani minister. Manish Tewari told journalists that Dawood Ibrahim remained India's top fugitive and New Delhi would continue to try to get him back to face justice. Describing Nisar's statement on Modi as "condemnable", Tewari asked Islamabad to introspect. Asking Pakistan to hand over Dawood, Tewari said, "If such a person, against whom many serious charges were framed, is staying in Pakistan, it is the responsibility of the Pakistani government to hand him over to India," he said.

Lekhi on the other hand was more direct. She said India did not interfere in Pakistan's internal affairs and expected the same from Islamabad. "Is Choudhary Nisar Ali Khan admitting to the presence of Dawood Ibrahim in Pakistan?" she asked. Addressing the media she wondered how is Pakistan affected when a person of the opposition party is making some remarks about the internal working of the country.

Khan had warned that Modi could become a great threat forregional stability. "Modi had gone to such an extent in enmity towards Pakistan, particularly Muslims, that if elected as Prime Minister of India, he would destabilize regional peace," he said.

The interior minister said, "Pakistani leadership, people and particularly armed forces have the right and power to reciprocate the expression of sentiments coming from across the border."

Modi had questioned Shinde's public remarks about bringing back Dawood. He had criticized the home minister's statement, saying such things cannot be achieved through the media. "Can such things be achieved through media. Are these things to be revealed through newspapers. Did Americans talk with bin Laden? Did America hold a press conference on its plans about tracking down bin Laden? What has the government done? They don't have minimum maturity. I am ashamed that the home minister made such statements," Modi said.

This was exactly what Modi said. Nowhere did he targeted Pak or hinted of attacking it in anyway. Some dumb people failed to get that and started blabbering bullcrap...duhh !!

And many supportive of them in India are scared too. And they have valid reasons to be afraid.
