MUMBAI: The Shiv Sena on Tuesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should display guts and attack Pakistan if it was indeed found “interfering” in the ongoing Gujarat elections, reports The First Post.
“The prime minister has levelled a serious allegation that Pakistan is interfering in Gujarat polls. We are very concerned if this is true.” The editorials asked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) whether Pakistan was indeed helping to install Congress MP (Member of Parliament) Ahmed Patel as the next chief minister of Gujarat.
The BJP ally said it was strange that Modi chose to make such a serious allegation at an election rally in Gujarat instead of taking action against Pakistan.
“Besides, despite having a strong intelligence set-up, the PM (prime minister) said he learnt about the meeting from media reports. This is an equally serious issue. Instead of tossing it at an election meeting, he should order the Indian Army to enter Pakistan and intervene.”
“For how long will you continue raking up Pakistan’s name at every occasion? The country expects you to act. So do it. Otherwise, mere allegations are hurled even by Yashwant Sinha and Nana Patole,” the Sena said.
