New Delhi: India on Saturday strongly responded to comments made by Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi receiving the “Guardian of the Blue Horizon” Presidential Distinction from Seychelles.
Government sources dismissed Asif’s remarks, calling them “baseless” and describing him as “mentally unstable.” They also said he often makes comments on issues he knows little about.”That he could be entrusted with his current responsibility says much about today’s Pakistan.
Clearly, he has no day job and passes time by making silly comments on matters of which he has little knowledge. Envy is always a bad motivation, particularly so from someone steeped in hate speech,” the sources said.
The exchange marks another sharp war of words between India and Pakistan, with officials from both sides continuing to trade criticism over political and diplomatic issues.
