Pakistan goes berserk !
Pakistan has resented the installation of the ‘Akhand Bharat’ map in the New Parliament building of India. Its citizens have expressed fear about India taking Pakistan under its control. Some of their reporters have commented on television, “We will never give Pakistan to India. On the contrary, we will make India ‘Ghazwa-e-Hind’ (Islamic India).”
