LAHORE, Sep 19 (NNI): Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that India has become a rogue Hindutva terrorist state.
Responding to the diplomatic tussle that was unfolded between India and Canada recently over the killing of a Sikh leader, the former foreign minister said that killing of a Canadian national was against international law as well as Canadian sovereignty.
He encouraged Pakistan to stand with the people of Canada in front of the international community and drew attention to India’s misdeeds “For how long the international community, especially Western countries, will ignore India’s mistakes?,” he added.
The killings in Canada, according to Bilawal Bhutto, should be freely discussed by the Foreign Office.
In an expected diplomatic move, Canada has expelled New Delhi’s head of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW)— India’s foreign intelligence agency — stationed in Ottawa accusing India’s involvement in the killing of a Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June.
The already strained relations between Ottawa and New Delhi took a dramatic new low.
Talking to newsmen, Bilawal has declared that his party is facing ‘level-playing field’ issue from the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
Bilawal Bhutto said “Everyone is seeing the level-playing field issue. One party is expert in propaganda and character assassination.”
Responding to a question, he said the power to constitute a full court still rests with the chief justice of Pakistan. “The Supreme Court (Practice and Procedure) Act is of great significance and that is why a full court hearing it,” he added.
The PPP chairman also said that the power to announce the election schedule rested with the Election Commission of Pakistan.
While commenting on the cases of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), he said that all the NAB cases were old.
When asked whether there is any development in the issue of the level-playing field faced by the PPP, Bilawal Bhutto said that all the reservations of the PPP had been conveyed to the party’s co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari.
“We have given complete power to Asif Ali Zardari to remove our objections regarding the level-playing field. As far as the issue of level-playing field is concerned, everyone can see from which side the PPP is facing this issue,” he stated.
Another question was put to Bilawal that the PPP has been facing the level-playing field issue from which side. “Either it is from the Supreme Court, the establishment or the election commission.”
In his simple reply, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the issue had been coming from the PML-N. NNI
