Indians today remembering Two-Nation Theory, its proponent: Firdous.

SIALKOT -- Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Sunday said the Two-Nation Theory had won as today the Indians, particularly Muslims, were remembering its great proponent Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and his companions.

Addressing a press conference here in Kubbay Chak, she said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi tried to impose the amended citizenship law bringing the people across the country on roads to protest his extremist mindset.

His policies for imposing Hindutva had miserably failed, while Pakistan's good treatment of minorities had won the hearts of Indian people, she added.

She said Modi's extremist policies had tarnished India's so-called secular state status in the world. His ideology based on radicalism and extremism had even been rejected by Indians.

Dr Firdous said India was facing internal conflicts and confrontation and the Modi government was trying to divert the world's attention from it by spreading disinformation in that regard, besides resorting to unprovoked shelling on the civilian population along the Line of Control (LoC) and killing innocent people on Pakistani side. The Pakistan Army, however, was responding to the enemy's aggression in a befitting manner, she added.

Referring to Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's speech, the special assistant said those who had plundered the national wealth while in power, were now posing themselves as people's representatives. The PPP leadership seemed to remember Benazir Bhutto only on her death anniversary on December 27 and was making arrangements for that.

She said democracy was not aimed at attaining power for personal benefits. Prime Minister Imran Khan did not believe in democracy where those in power only cared for the well-being of their own children and not that of the people (who had voted them to power).

"Your (Bilawal's) own conduct is undemocratic. You should better apply democracy to your own province (Sindh where the PPP is in government)," she remarked.
