KARACHI – Drawing a reference between the 2002 anti-Muslim Gujarat riots and the atrocities of Indian forces in held-Kashmir during last three months, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Sunday stated the butcher of Gujarat has become butcher of Kashmir.
In a tweet, Bilawal said “The butcher of Gujarat has become butcher of Kashmir and wants to lecture us on terrorism?” reacting to Saturday’s speech of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in which he called Pakistan a terror-sponsoring state while vowing to isolate Islamabad internationally.
The PPP chairman further urged world leaders to work together to stop the tyranny of the Indian Prime Minister.
The butcher of Gujarat has become butcher of Kashmir and wants to lecture us on terrorism? world must work together to stop this tyrant.
