New Delhi, Sep 23 (TIWN) No power would be able to save Pakistan from getting divided into pieces, if human rights violations against Balochs and Pashtuns continued, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday.
Speaking at a felicitation programme here for the families of 122 soldiers who lost their lives in the line of duty, Singh also warned Pakistan that if its people cross the Line of Control, the Indian Army will not allow them to return.
"Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has given good advice to his people to not cross the Line of Control because Indian soldiers are ready and will not allow them to return," he said. Khan, while speaking in Muzaffarabad on Friday, had urged the Pakistani people not to march toward the Line of Control until he asks them to. Singh also said Pakistan was unable to digest India's decision to abrogate Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and went to the United Nations to mislead it. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has created such a belief and trust in India across the world that the international community is not ready to believe what Pakistan is saying, he said.
"Our neighbouring country is unable to digest India''s progress. India''s reputation is growing in the international arena under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi and it (Pakistan) is unable to digest it. Such powers keep looking at India like vultures," the defence minister said. Singh asserted that if human rights are being violated anywhere, it is happening in "our neighbouring country". "You can go there and see what is happening with Balochis, Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Jains and Buddhists... A country like this is trying to defame India by talking about human rights violations," he said, adding that the whole world is now understanding this. India does not believe in the politics of caste, community or religion, it believes in the politics of justice and humanity, the minister said.
