'Pakistani Generals want conflict, terrorists are their tools': Ravi Shankar Prasad in Berlin
File photo: BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad (Picture credit: ANI) BERLIN: BJP MP and leader of the all-party delegation Ravi Shankar Prasad on Saturday sharply criticised Pakistan's military establishment, asserting that its Generals orchestrate conflicts to remain relevant, using terrorists as tools to destabilise India. During a community event with the Indian diaspora in Berlin, Prasad highlighted India's remarkable progress in IT, space, and digital transformation under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, contrasting it with Pakistan's repeated failures in wars while referring to the repeated incidents of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and the military's dominant role in the country's politics. "India and Pakistan were born the same day. Where are we in India, and where are they (Pakistan)? India has become a major global IT power in the world. India has become an emerging space power in the world. The startup movements here are now globally recognised. India has also become the second biggest mobile phone manufacturer in the world. We have brought digital transformation with equity and justice," Prasad said. "What Pakistan is doing is creating terror machines. How to create world-class terrorists under their (military) Generals. They attacked us four times and lost every time. We never attacked; they were the ones who always started the war. It is because they are under the control of Generals and not political leaders. Generals want conflict to keep themselves relevant, and terrorists are the instruments through which they execute. Wherever there is a terrorist, either he is a Pakistani or trained in Pakistan," he added. He emphasised India's economic achievements, including a 51 per cent share of global digital payments and its status as the second-largest mobile manufacturer, attributing this to PM Modi's 2014 vision of "IT+IT=IT" (Information Technology + India's Talent = India Tomorrow). "Prime Minister Narendra Modi used to say in 2014 that if he became the PM, he would make an India where IT+IT=IT, which means Information Technology + India's Talent = India Tomorrow. Digital payment in India is at 51 per cent of the world," the BJP MP stated. Prasad also spoke about the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and India's decisive response through Operation Sindoor on May 7, noting that Operation Sindoor remains paused but ready to resume based on Pakistan's actions. "Pahalgam attack happened on April 22. We attacked on May 7 and hit the terrorist camps. If Pakistan has to talk, it must directly speak to us. Our message was stern and straight: If you stop, we stop. If you fire, we will give a stronger reply. Operation Sindoor is on pause, subject to the good behaviour of Pakistan. It has not ended," he stated. The delegation, led by Ravi Shankar Prasad, includes BJP MPs Daggubati Purandeswari and Samik Bhattacharya, Congress MP Amar Singh and Gulam Ali Khatana, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi, AIADMK MP M Thambidurai, former Union Minister MJ Akbar and former diplomat Pankaj Saran. The delegation arrived in Germany after concluding their visit to Belgium to convey India's resolute and united stand against terrorism.

‘Pakistan is the emperor with no clothes,' says BJP MP Baijayant Panda after all-party delegation's Middle East visit, claims countries now ‘stand with us'
File photo: BJP MP Baijayant Panda (Picture credit: ANI) NEW DELHI: BJP Lok Sabha MP Baijayant Jay Panda, who led an all-party parliamentary delegation to four Islamic nations, launched a sharp critique of Pakistan's global image, calling it "an emperor that has no clothes" in an interview with India Today, as cited by news agency ANI. His comments came after the delegation's visit to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Algeria, where he said India received a 'phenomenal reception' and found a shared stance with these countries against terrorism. "Pakistan is like the emperor that has no clothes. It's pretty shameless, but everybody knows what it is," Panda said. He claimed that while the four nations are Islamic, they have diverged sharply from Pakistan by cracking down on jihadist and Salafist elements. "All these four countries have taken very strong actions against jihadism... Pakistan has gone in the opposite direction," he said, adding that Islamabad continues to encourage fundamentalism and misuse aid meant for development. Panda further said these countries are frustrated with Pakistan's use of financial assistance. "They have seen that the aid has been misused... instead of developing schools, roads, and hospitals, Pakistan has used it to finance terrorism," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo According to him, these countries now 'stand with us' and view India as an opportunity, unlike Pakistan which they consider a 'problem child.' The BJP MP also underlined that the delegation highlighted Pakistan's return to supporting terror groups after being removed from the FATF grey list. 'This message found a great deal of resonance,' he said, noting that India's anti-terror stand was welcomed. On the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed civilians, Panda said all four countries issued strong statements condemning terrorism. "They are on the same page when we go with this message,' he said. He also expressed hope that these countries would take steps behind the scenes that would 'not be very encouraging for Pakistan' and possibly push it towards self-correction. Emphasising India's assertive new approach, he said, 'We were there to explain the new normal. We will retaliate and specifically target terrorist bases.' However, he clarified that India did not want to escalate tensions or provoke nuclear threats. 'If they escalate, we will hit them back... but never go near the nuclear threshold,' he added. The delegation included MPs Nishikant Dubey, Phangnon Konyak, Rekha Sharma, AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Harsh Shringla and Satnam Singh Sandhu.
