news18.comBeing a Pakistani, I feel Modi is your version of General Zia.
That jackass brought religion into Pakistani politics and set us back 30 years. You guys will soon learn that use of religion in politics is the most powerful tool. But it also destroys democratic values.
Also, it will work even after mr Modi retires. Some one else will learn to exploit it just like we still have jokers even though Zia has been long dead
Many of us still curse Zia

Thankfully India is still a democracy with a functioning judiciary to keep the government in check. Our Constitution (whose basic structure can never be amended) will ensure that India never goes down the road taken by Pakistan. This is just the right-wing swing in Indian political cycle. Don't expect the BJP to last beyond 2024. He'll, they'll be reigned in this year if they lose their majority which they most likely will. For all the talk of "end of democratic India" you need to remember that we've been through worse (emergency) and thrived as a democratic nation.
Also, the introduction of religion into Indian politics is nothing new and has been happening for quite some time now. Although I'd agree that Modi has taken it to an extreme.

How has Modi taken it to extreme? Congress literally burned people for being Sikh.
6
And BJP (under Modi) burned people for being Muslim.
The difference is that in subsequent years Congress has managed to win over the Sikh community to the point where they are in power in Punjab with a Sikh chief minister - and BJP is still encouraging vile rhetoric against minorities so that it's obvious for them who not to vote for between two institutions with a checkered past.

We also have abusive laws like those for sedition and defamation. Mohammed Hanif wrote A Case of Exploding Mangoes and moved back to Pakistan in the same year. It is unimaginable that someone could write such a book featuring (instead of Zia) Modi or Vajpayee or for that matter one of the Gandhis and be able to live freely in today’s India afterwards.

lol tell me when Hussain Haqqani feels safe in Pakistan.

Your country was formed on the priority of religion. India is totally different compared to Pakistan. Don't worry, India won't decline.
We Hindus are relatively much liberal, religion wise, when you look at our history and current economic status. Core Hinduism doesn't believe in forceful conversions or hate towards any other religion.
Let India develop, and improve our literacy rates and increase our police force. Currently we have 150 policemen per 100,000 compared to 284 per 100,000 in USA.
When we achieve our basics, we will start to shine, for sure.

Modi is the continuation that you talk about. This religious shit started way back with advani's rath yatra

Was it Zia that got you your infamous blasphemy bill ?
2
Search result:
'Pakistan inherited these laws when it came into existence after the partition of India in 1947. The blasphemy laws were introduced through Sections 295-B and 295-C of the Pakistan Penal Code during the dictatorial regime of General Ziaul Haq.'
3
You missed out the rest of the search results.
The blasphemy laws were further reinforced in 1991 much after Zia. And some legislators were murdered for speaking against them around 2010-11.
Also, afaik the difference between Modi and Zia is that Modi is the one asking for a common civil code and not one based onreligion like it is right now.
6
Modi's asking for uniform civil code now and given how he empowers the right-wing Hindutva domestic terrorists, the RSS/Hindutva version of blasphemy law won't far behind if he regains power.
Chance lene hai ka nahi. Issko nikal dene ka.

The difference between Zia and Modi is that Modi hasn't been able to change any of the legal foundations of secularism in India. If anything it has been strengthened with the new right to privacy.
If we get rid of him now things will recover smoothly.
If we don't, I am not so confident.

You guys will soon learn that use of religion in politics is the most powerful tool.
Nah, we already know that since time immemorial. We're just more vocal (and probably more emotional) now.

All of india’s enemies want this wrecker in chief to retain power. He is doing their work at zero cost, and implementing all the evil designs they have on India.

Chowkidaar Imran Khan

Oh man. That'll be quite something isn't it? In a single night all bhakts will remove their shameful mantle.
12
I wish he really changes his Twitter handle. :)

Oof.
15
Wasn't congress the one who wanted peace talks with pakistan , so if imran khan thinks modi will be better for peace shouldnt they be happy if modi wins
15
You should look into the reason why Imran Khan is saying this.
16
Modi playing 2D checkers while I ran 4D chess
1
Here is the official stance of Congress President on policy towards Pakistan.
7
If Imran Khan expected this, I will call this a brilliant move. Sometimes sharp words don't make the desired result which sweet words can.
10
There are two sections of people who want Modi to be back - BJP in India, and the Pakistani military (and their puppets) in Pakistan.
10
He knew his name will be misused as BJP were trying to spread hatred against Congress by using Pakistan. 1-0 to Imran.

Me thinks IK's remarks are a sign of the times...whatever the oppn says abt this, but it is an endorsement of reality
2
Lmao what
0
IK is not wrong though.
Congress can't do anything without the Public being manipulated by the Media and calling for Congress blood.
The region needs Modi to put the people in place and stop this regional hostility.
-1†
Could you please explain?
3
The devil can vouch for Modi and be cleansed in his Modi mutra is what he means.
5
Imran Khan is the Kejriwal of Pakistan. The u turns are showing.
-2
Just FYI, Imran Khan is saying that Congress is spineless and prefers a stronger leader to deal with.
Please read the article and IK's quote.
-6†
He said that they will be under fear of looking to appease Pakistan by the opposition but that yardstick is not applied by warhawks to Modi and BJP. Basically a very damning and sort of correct indictment of bhakts.
18
In other words he is saying Congress is weak. It's a damning indictment of Congress who can't stand up for what they believe and fear the opposition without any sort of gumption. That's the inference that I get.
In any case Congress has come out with a fairly liberal outlook for J&K which is refreshing.

Yes a strong leader to attempt a repeat of Kargil, only this time it might succeed.

No. Imran Khan's idea is based on a popular thinking of taking action in India - Pakistan relations. Which is there will be peace only if Army in case of Pakistan does it, and right wing in India if it tries. Anyone else would be bullied out by Army in Pakistan or Right wing in India. It is on the same basis that people expect lower backlash, if it is a left wing govt making business friendly decisions in comparison to right wing.
You can certainly make decisions which don't apply to this ideology, but it has proved to be true in India-Pakistan's case.

Remember when BJP once said “If Pak is keen that BJP not return to power, we must be doing something right more so if Imran Khan endorses Congress?".
Imran Khan just bowled a classic bouncer to put BJP in a spot.
Don't know if it's funny or embarrassing, but China and Pakistan have been making us look like a bunch of clowns. Especially with this governments predictability.
The difference between a Chaiwala and an Oxford Economist is showing.
