A day after a Pakistani youth was arrested for hoisting the Indian flag atop his home, the Shiv Sena on Friday said by its action, the neighbouring country has once again displayed its hatred for India and questioned when this country would take action against anti-national elements.
“Umar Daraz’s house was raided and he was charged with committing an offence against his country. Was his mistake really this big Those who attacked the Indian Parliament were responsible for the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai and recently, for the attack on Indian Air Force base in Pathankot. They are roaming around freely in Pakistan. By arresting the youth, the country has once again displayed to the world its hatred for India,” the Sena said in an editorial in its party mouthpiece Saamana.
The Sena said that one has never heard of police raids in places where most wanted terrorists such as Dawood Ibrahim, Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, Azhar Masood take shelter and run their organisations.
“Didn’t our country have Wasim Akram and Imran Khan fans One will find many fans for people such as Mehendi Hasan, Rahat Ali, Ghulam Ali in India, but our government never arrested them. On the contrary, nationalists who try to stop Ghulam Ali from performing here are sneered at,” it said.
It further said that many times after an India-Pakistan cricket match, crackers are burst in “mini Pakistans” such as Bhiwandi, Malegaon, Mumbra, Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) when India loses. But, the Indian government never objects to this, it said.
“There is constant sloganeering in support of Pakistan in Kashmir. On Independence Day, Pakistan flags are waived in Lal Chowk of Srinagar and the Indian flag is burnt. Unfortunately, the Indian government is never aggressive,” the edit said.
“Umar Daraz was not disloyal but the Pakistani government acted against him. When will our government take action against disloyal people and Pakistan lovers There is a lesson to be learnt from Umar’s arrest,” the Sena added.
