Sanjay Raut Must Apologise For Calling Ahmedabad “Mini Pakistan”: BJP
Ahmedabad:
The BJP on Sunday accused Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut of “defaming” Gujarat by way of calling Ahmedabad a “mini Pakistan” and demanded that he apologise to the folks of Gujarat and Ahmedabad.

Sanjay Raut and Kangana Ranaut were locked in a sour disagreement because the actor termed Mumbai unsafe after the dying of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
“If that woman apologises to Mumbai and Maharashtra for calling Mumbai a ‘mini Pakistan’, then I will be able to take into accounts it. Does she have the braveness to mention the similar about Ahmedabad?” the Sena MP had requested.

“He will have to apologise to Gujarat, Ahmedabad and Amdavadis,” he mentioned.
Mr Pandya mentioned the Sena will have to prevent the use of any alternative to defame Gujarat, Gujaratis and leaders from Gujarat “by way of focused on them out of jealousy, hatred and malice”.
“That is the Gujarat of Gandhiji and Sardar Patel. Sardar Patel has bolstered the solidarity and integrity of India by way of uniting 562 kingdoms. Junagadh and Hyderabad had been averted from going to Pakistan and made to stick in India because of his guts and energy,” he mentioned.
Bharat Pandya mentioned Sardar Patel’s dream of constructing Kashmir an integral a part of India, by way of scrapping Article 370, has been fulfilled by way of Top Minister Narendra Modi and Union House Minister Amit Shah who’re from Gujarat.
