I felt at home in Pakistan : Sam Pitroda

Pro-Pakistani statement by India Overseas Congress Chairman Sam Pitroda

New Delhi – In my opinion, our foreign policy should be focused on our neighbours first. Can we really improve relations with our neighbours? I have been to Pakistan. I want to say that I felt at home there. I have also been to Bangladesh and Nepal, and I felt at home there, too. I did not feel that I was on foreign soil, said Sam Pitroda, the Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress (Congress’s foreign wing). The BJP has targeted the Congress over his statement.

This is why the then Congress Government did not take action against Pakistan after the Mumbai attacks: the BJP

BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari said that Rahul Gandhi’s confidant and Congress foreign affairs chief Sam Pitroda says he feels at home in Pakistan. Henc,e it was not surprising that the then Congress Government did not take strong steps against Pakistan after the terrorist attacks on Mumbai.

‘Stop considering China as an enemy’

Editorial Perspective

From this, it is clear that Pitroda is not a citizen of India, but a citizen of Pakistan and China. Indians should demand that such people’s citizenship be cancelled.

Sam Pitroda said in an interview with a news agency that I do not feel threatened by China. The idea of ​​China being an enemy is often exaggerated because the US tends to consider other countries as enemies. In my opinion, the times must change now. Countries should cooperate, avoid conflict. Our approach has already been confrontational, and this approach creates enemies. We have to change this mindset and stop believing that ‘China has been an enemy since day one’.

Editorial Perspectives

• If Pakistan feels like home, why didn’t Congress try to annex Pakistan to India during its rule?
• Indians feel that if Pitroda feels at home in Pakistan, he should live there instead of living in India.
