NEW DELHI: To avenge the intimidation and humiliation of Kulbhushan Jadhav's kin by Islamabad, India "should wage war against Pakistan to tear it apart into four pieces", said BJP MP Subramanian Swamy. He added that splitting Pakistan is the only "permanent solution" and remedy in dealing with the "envious and vengeful" country. "Serious homework" for the war should begin "right now", Swamy said, according to PTI.
The Rajya Sabha Parliamentarian also tweeted saying India needs to take revenge for Pakistan humiliating Jadhav's wife and his mother by forcing them to remove their mangalsutra, bindi and bangles. Swamy's comments came after the external affairs minister (MEA) yesterday revealed details of the Christmas day meeting of Jadhav - who's on death row in Pakistan for alleged espionage - with his wife and his mother. The ministry detailed the hours of humiliation faced by Avanti Jadhav and Chetankul Jadhav, the mother and wife, respectively, of Jadhav.
Swamy compared their treatment by Pakistan to what the character of Draupadi faced in the epic war drama, The Mahabharata.
"Whatever treatment was given to the mother and wife of Kulbhushan (Jadhav) is akin to Draupadi's vastraharan that resulted in Mahabharata," said Swamy, according to PTI news agency.
