Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a public meeting in Bihar, made a controversial statement, asserting that India would make Pakistan wear bangles if it wasn't already doing so. This bold declaration was a sharp retort to remarks made by Farooq Abdullah, leader of the National Conference, who had earlier stated that Pakistan possessed atomic bombs and was not 'wearing bangles', implying that it was not a weak nation.
PM Modi's statement was not made in isolation. It came amidst heightened tensions between India and Pakistan over the issue of Kashmir. Earlier this month, Home Minister Rajnath Singh had vowed to take back Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), to which Abdullah had responded by questioning Pakistan's military strength.
In his speech, PM Modi highlighted the economic problems faced by Pakistan, such as shortages of flour and electricity. He went on to criticize the Congress party for its perceived weak stance towards Pakistan, claiming that such an attitude had emboldened cross-border terrorism in the past.
PM Modi's statement has been met with mixed reactions. Some have praised him for taking a strong stand against Pakistan, while others have criticized him for using provocative language that could further escalate tensions between the two countries.
The ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan are a cause for concern, and it is imperative that both sides exercise restraint and engage in constructive dialogue to resolve their differences peacefully.
