Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, on Friday after the culmination of a candle light march held in solidarity of those killed in the terrorist attack in Jammu & Kashmir’s Pahalgam said, “We all will together support the country’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.”
Affirming support for the Centre in dealing with the situation following the Pahalgam terror attack, Reddy urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to give a befitting reply to Pakistan and the terrorists, even if it means merging PoK with India.
He further said, “When China attacked our country in 1967, Indira Gandhi gave a befitting reply. After that, in 1971, Pakistan attacked the country, Indira Gandhi gave a befitting reply and divided the country into two parts…Today, we have to take action against Pakistan.”
He recalled that former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had compared the then PM Indira Gandhi to Goddess Durga over the creation of Bangladesh in 1971.”You (PM Modi) remember Durga Mata. Take action, whether it’s attacking Pakistan or any other measure. Today, steps should be taken against Pakistan. This is not the time for compromise. A befitting reply should be given. Move ahead, and we will stand with you. 140 crore Indians are with you,”he added.
Leaders like Congress’ Pawan Khera and AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi were others among present.
