Ghulam Nabi Azad slams Pakistan in Kuwait
The veteran political leader, who was chosen to be a part of the multi-party delegations meant to shore up allies across the world, slammed Pakistan for the spread of disinformation which increased tensions with India.
In Kuwait, Azad said, as quoted by ANI, “Pakistan spreads a lot of disinformation. It is their habit. So, in the meetings that were held today a lot of questions and answers took place. I think the disinformation which they used to hear have all been done away with. So, it was a really good program.”
The former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir also stated that the delegations had expressed the unity in India to representatives in Kuwait.
“We told them about our country, how lives everyone together with love, Hindus-Muslims-Sikhs-Christians. political parties debate in Parliament but when it is a question of the country, we stand united inside and outside the country,” said Azad.(Agencies)
