 Glorifying the PM of an enemy country is an anti-National act ! : Mr Mohan Gowda

Mr Mohan Gowda

Mr Mohan Gowda said, “Pakistan is promoting terrorism in India. Imran Khan himself encouraged terrorist activities in Kashmir. During Imran Khan’s tenure as Pakistan Prime Minister, 40 brave Indian soldiers sacrificed their lives in the terrorist attack on Pulwama in Kashmir. Therefore, glorifying the Prime Minister of such an enemy country is an anti-National act by itself. Permission should not have been granted for the publication programme in the first place. This book should be banned and a case be registered against the organisers of this programme. We had submitted this demand to the State Government. The State Government has cancelled the programme in response to our demand”.

Editorial viewpoint

The Government should register a case of treason against the organisers of such a programme, and they should be put behind bars !
