The outrage across the country has sparked in all the state capitals across the country over the “derogatory” remarks made by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari against PM Modi.
During a press conference at the United Nations in New York, the Pakistani minister made defamatory remarks and said, “highly derogatory and full of cowardice.”
However, Bilawal Bhutto’s remark has gained global attention after which the BJP party said, “The statement is also aimed at misleading the world and diverting global attention from Pakistan’s collapsing economy, lawlessness and anarchy in Pakistan, simmering differences in the Pakistani army, its deteriorating global relations, and the fact that Pakistan has become a major sanctuary for terrorists.”
Furthermore, against Bilawal’s statement, a protest outside Pakistan High Commission in Delhi was also staged by BJP workers.
