Narendra Singh surprised everyone by giving a clean chit to Pakistan

According to Media Reports, Minister of Agriculture, Narendra Singh gave a clean chit to Pakistan in the whole episode even before the investigation have begun.

Taking to media at Jamui, Narendra Singh said, “I don’t believe that Pakistan is responsible for the incident (killing of five Indian soldiers by Pakistani army on the LoC in Poonch district) on Tuesday. Pakistan is our younger brother and a good neighbour”.

There has been hardly 2 days when Bihar CM Nitish Kumar formally expressed regret  and apologized over the remarks of another Minister Bhim Singh on the martyrdom of 5 Soldiers. Now this remark by Narendra Singh will certainly deepen the trouble for Nitish Kumar.

Meanwhile, Bihar BJP leaders took strong exception to the agriculture minister’s statement saying it speaks “volumes on Singh’s mental bankruptcy.” The minister’s comments go against the Indian government’s stated position and sentiments of the people, BJP leaders Mangal Pandey and Giriraj Singh said.

“The statement is yet another case of disrespect to the supreme sacrifices made by our soldiers and grief of their families and the country as a whole,” the BJP leaders said, alleging JD(U) has taken a contrary view apparently for its minority appeasement politics for vote bank.
