He said the delegation also highlighted how the countries that gained independence from colonial rule in 1947 have progressed over the past few decades.”India has grown to a four-trillion-dollar economy, whereas Pakistan is stuck at a 500-million-dollar economy. This is the difference. They are receiving IMF loans, while India is sending aid to different countries,” the Shiv Sena leader said.On Pakistan also sending parliamentary delegations to world capitals, Shinde said perhaps they are speaking about the number of terror outfits flourishing on their soil.”I think their delegations are speaking about the number of times they sent terrorists to carry out attacks in India and the number of innocent lives claimed by these terrorists,” he said.”They have nothing more to tell. They must have spoken about the number of terrorist outfits flourishing on their soil — be it Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Muhammad, Hizb-ul Mujahideen and the most recent The Resistance Force (TRF). I don’t think they have anything else to say. Their army chief is spreading the message about creating conflict in the name of religion. Their only agenda is to destabilise India, which is progressing well,” Shinde said.On the politics playing out in India over Operation Sindoor, Shinde said Congress leaders were speaking against the government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi only to keep themselves relevant.”They should learn from (Shashi) Tharoor, (Salman) Khurshid and others on how to present India’s case before the world. How we all should be united in the fight against terrorism and not indulge in politics all the time,” Shinde said.On Rahul Gandhi’s remark that India surrendered to calls from the US during Operation Sindoor, Shinde said the Leader of the Opposition should be aware that his remarks are used by Pakistan to further their agenda.”Such a language does not suit him (Gandhi). He should realise that Pakistan is using his statements against India. The entire country is watching whether they are speaking in favour of India or against India,” he said.
