New Delhi [India], May 24 : Rajya Sabha MP Ghulam Ali Khatana, who is also a part of all-party delegation led by BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad, said on Saturday that Pakistan's real face needs to be exposed, adding that this country has demeaned the entire Muslim community by inducing cross-border terrorism and killing innocent civilians.
Speaking to ANI, Khatana also expressed gratitude to the Indian Armed Forces and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Operation Sindoor.
"PM Modi has taken a good step, and after the Pahalgam terror attack, the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan was dismantled by Indian armed forces, and when Pakistan retaliated, we responded to them appropriately. We thank PM Modi for that. Pakistan's real face needs to be exposed. They have demeaned the entire Muslim community. Inducing cross-border terrorism, especially the children and women - they have killed innocent civilians in Kashmir. Pakistan has become a virtual contractor of terrorism; the Pakistan army has murdered democracy there. This all needs to be told to the world community," the BJP leader said.
