Controversy | • In March 2019, he sparked controversy by saying that Pakistan can not be blamed for the 26/11 attack and Pulwama attack. He said, Eight people (26/11 terrorists) come ‘&’ do something, you don’t jump on the entire nation. Naive 2 assume that just because some people came here ‘&’ attacked, every citizen of that nation is to be blamed. I don’t believe in that way. On Balakot Air Strike, he questioned, If they (IAF) killed 300, it’s ok. All I am saying is – can you give me more facts & prove it? He further added. I would like 2 know a little more because I read reports in the New York Times and other newspapers. Did we really attack? We really killed 300 people? I don’t know that. As a citizen, I am entitled to know & if I ask it is my duty to ask, that doesn’t mean I’m not a nationalist, That doesn’t mean I am on this side or that side. We need to know the facts. If you say 300 people were killed, I need to know that [1] |
