Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has stirred political debate with a sharp rebuke of certain pro-Pakistan sentiments allegedly expressed by individuals during television debates. Speaking at a public interaction, Kalyan said such attitudes were unacceptable and questioned the loyalty of those defending Pakistan while living in India.
"A few people are expressing affection for Pakistan while living in India. If they truly love Pakistan, they should leave India and go there," Kalyan stated pointedly. "Why is there so much affection for Pakistan? If you genuinely support them, then go live there."
The actor-turned-politician specifically targeted leaders from the Congress party, suggesting that internal rifts might be fueling such controversial statements. "Some individuals, especially Congress leaders—possibly MLCs—from the southern part of India, are making such statements during TV debates. There are internal differences within the Congress party," he added.
Kalyan further warned that invoking secularism to justify support for a hostile foreign nation would not be tolerated. "If there is an attack on India and someone supports Pakistan in the name of secularism, it will not be acceptable."
