‘Pakistan biggest victim of terrorism’

LUCKNOW: Indian politician and member of parliament Mani Shankar Aiyar has said that Pakistan is the biggest victim of terrorism, Geo News reported.

He was delivering a lecture on Pak-Indo relations in Lucknow. Aiyar asked people of India to forget about the 2001 Parliament attack and the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks as People in Pakistan faced 26/11 situation everyday.”They have a risk of life be it on 24, 25, 26 or any day of the calendar,” he said and added though Pakistan was the biggest source of terrorism, the reality was that it was also the biggest victim

The Congress MP said it was Indians’ biggest misconception if they believed that after a terrorist attack, Pakistan would come forward and apologised for the misdeed.

Even 65 years after independence, both India and Pakistan are not united. Aiyar said the need of the hour was for Indians to forget animosity and hostility and move forward.

Aiyar said while India was dreaming to become a superpower, the entire world was giggling at us for the poor relations we keep with our neighbors. Aiyar blamed outright the Americans for spoiling India-Pakistan relations and encouraging terrorism.
