NEW DELHI: Bharatiya Janata Party MP Ravi Shankar Prasad on Friday slammed Pakistani nationals who demonstrated against India outside a venue in Copenhagen hosting an Indian parliamentary delegation and said that Pakistan is a desperate country, and they protest out of desperation. Addressing the Indian diaspora in Copenhagen, the BJP MP said that the Pakistanis who are protesting here are doing so because their “handlers” have told them to do so. “We have come here carrying hopes and aspirations of the people — the blessings, emotions, compassion, 1.4 billions Indians, we have come. I was very surprised to see the great Pakistanis shouting slogans there. When ambassador called me and asked, ‘What’s going on?’ — we had gone to France, we had gone to Rome, we were here yesterday, and today too,” the BJP MP, one of the leaders of 7 all party delegation who are going around the world to give details about Operation Sindoor, said. “The program is going very well — whether in France, Rome or Copenhagen — we are getting wide coverage in the local media, international media, on the radio, television, and social media. Then their handlers in Pakistan must have told them, “What are you doing? Do something!” So out of desperation, they came here. Pakistan is a desperate country — it acts out of desperation, and continues to ignore things with impunity. That is the whole point,” he added. The visiting Indian delegation comprises BJP MPs Ravi Shankar Prasad and Daggubati Purandeswari, Samik Bhattacharya, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi, Congress MPs Ghulam Ali Khatana and Amar Singh, former Union Minister MJ Akbar, and Ambassador Pankaj Saran.Samik Bhattacharya emphasised their mission to alert the world about terrorism, noting that Pakistani businesses abroad often operate under Indian names.Former minister MJ Akbar described Pakistan as having a “double face” and praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership in addressing Pakistan’s behaviour.Priyanka Chaturvedi emphasised cross-party unity against Pakistan, referencing Shiv Sena’s historical stance. She also questioned the IMF’s decision to provide loans to Pakistan, suggesting the funds were being misused for anti-India activities.“As we were coming here, we saw some flags, and you all would know what those flags are. And I thought to myself, the IMF loan is coming in handy, and I hope those who are giving them the IMF loan realise what it’s being used for. So, just two minutes ago, I walked outside to check if they’d left, and I was told they’d gone. And while we Indians continue to be resolutely strong in our backing for mother India,” Chaturvedi said.
