Senior BJP leader and famed economist Dr Subramanian Swamy was at it again. This time Swamy targeted estranged neighbour Pakistan and its newly-elected Prime Minister Imran Khan. He wasn’t shy of calling the former Pakistan cricket captain as “chaprasi”. Also saying that Islamabad is ruled by ISI, military and terrorists.
“Imran Khan is nothing but a ‘chaprasi’ because the country (Pakistan) is run by the military, ISI and terrorists, and Imran Khan is just one of the ‘chaprasi’ of the government. He may be called the Prime Minister, but he is a ‘chaprasi’,” Swamy said during a media briefing in Tripura capital Agartala. Swamy was in Agartala to be part of ‘Sanskritik Gaurav Sansthan’ programme of the Tripura unit.
Swamy even went to the extent of advising Pakistan to break the country in four parts according to the current situation. “There is only one solution to Pakistan. Balochis don’t want to be part of Pakistan, Sindhis don’t want to be part of Pakistan, Pashtuns don’t want to be part of Pakistan, so break Pakistan into four parts — these three (Baloch, Sindh, Pashtun) and the residual West Punjab…. I also think that (External Affairs Minister) Sushma Swaraj should not waste her breath speaking about Pakistan in the UN because Pakistan gets psychic pleasure when India abuses it. Just ignore Pakistan, prepare your military and one day break it up into four,” Swamy went on.
Swamy’s strong reactions come following External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj’s snub to Pakistan on the United Nations platform for sponsoring terrorism, violating border areas and human rights violation in neighbouring India.
Despite spewing venom against Pakistan, Swamy had a soft corner for another neighbour Bangladesh though unleashing a warning for its PM Sheikh Hasina and her activities.
“India will continue to support it, but Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina should be warned to stop those mad people from demolishing Hindu temples, converting Hindu temples into Masjid and converting Hindus to Muslims. If Bangladesh does not stop torturing the Hindus, I would recommend that our government invades Bangladesh and takes it over,” Swamy felt.
