NEW DELHI: Andhra Pradesh deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan on Tuesday strongly criticised individuals allegedly expressing pro-Pakistan sentiments while living in India, warning that such views were unacceptable, especially if voiced during national crises.
Kalyan said that people who "love" Pakistan and are residing in India should leave.
“A few people are expressing affection for Pakistan while living in India,” he said. “If they truly love Pakistan, they should leave India and go there. Why is there so much affection for Pakistan? If you genuinely support them, then go live there.”
Kalyan, who also heads the Jana Sena Party , was speaking in reference to recent televised debates where he claimed some leaders had shown apparent support for Pakistan.
“Some individuals, especially Congress leaders—possibly MLCs—from the southern part of India, are making such statements during TV debates,” he said. “There are internal differences within the Congress party.”
He added that backing a hostile nation under the guise of secularism could not be justified if India were to face aggression. “If there is an attack on India and someone supports Pakistan in the name of secularism, it will not be acceptable.”
These statements follow the massacre and terrorist attack that shook India on April 22, killing 26 innocent civilians.
Furthermore, the Jana Sena Party announced on their official X account that it will provide financial assistance of Rs 50 lakh to the family of Madhusudan Rao, an active party worker who lost his life in the Pahalgam terrorist attack. Additionally, Rs 5 lakh will be granted from the party’s accident insurance.
