"Pakistan already half empty": BJP's Dilip Ghosh - World News Network

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], May 2 (ANI): Amid calls for action against Pakistan over the deadly Pahalgam terrorist attack, which has devastated the country, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Dilip Ghosh on Friday said that the neighbouring country was already “half empty”.
“Although the attack has not occurred, Pakistan is already half empty. The Army chief there sent his children and wife abroad. Pakistan’s Foreign Minister has fled with his family,” Ghosh told reporters here.
He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah don’t just talk but walk the talk, as they have done by previously attacking Pakistan.
“What the BJP has done is historical. In the last 75 years, who has been able to answer (to Pakistan)? Who has ended terrorism in the country? Modi government. Pakistan will vanish. Be it our Prime Minister or Union Home Minister, they don’t just talk. They walk the talk. After Sardar Patel, people had forgotten that the country had a home minister. It was after Amit Shah was appointed as the Home Minister that people noticed it,” Ghosh said.
His remarks come after Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday reiterated the Centre’s zero tolerance policy against terrorism, saying the fight against the menace will continue until terrorism is completely uprooted.
“Terrorists should not think that they have achieved their big victory. This fight is not over yet. Chun chun ke badla lenge (we will take revenge on all terrorists),” Shah said while addressing an event in the national capital.
Following the Pahalgam terror attack, Shah said that the Modi government is committed to eliminating terrorism from every part of the country.
“Har vyakti ko chun chun ke jawab bhi milega, jawab bhi diya jayega…” “This is the Narendra Modi government; no one will be spared. It is our resolve to uproot terrorism from every inch of this country and it will be accomplished…,” said the Union Minister.
Calling for action against Pakistan in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi referred to the ‘ghar me ghus ke maara’ line used by BJP leaders in their speeches over the aerial and surgical strikes conducted during the Modi government against terror groups in Pakistan and said, “if you are taking action this time (against Pakistan), ‘toh ghar mein ghus kar baith jana’ (stay there)”.
“BJP says ‘ghar me ghus ke maarenge’. If you (central government) are taking action this time (against Pakistan), ‘toh ghar mein ghus kar baith jana’. It is the resolution of the Indian Parliament that PoK is ours. All opposition parties are telling the government that terrorism should be eradicated,” Owaisi said, addressing the media in Hyderabad.
