Senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha M.P. Subramaniam Swamy has urged the BJP-led Centre to wage a war with neighbouring Pakistan and split it into four territories.

Pakistan arrested former Indian naval officer Kulbhusan Jadhav on espionage charges and awarded death penalty to him. After India moved the International Court of Justice, the death penalty was stayed. Pak allowed Kulbhuan’s family to meet him a few days back but not before humiliating them by asking his mother to take off her saree, wear salwar khameez, instructing her to take off her Bindi and Mangalsutra and frisking her.

Pakistan’s mean act has raised a huge controversy with North Indian television news channels holding a huge debate about Pakistan’s uncultured, merciless handling of Kubhushan’s family. Reacting to this, Swamy said “Pakistan continues to humiliate India and Indians and has tested our patience beyond a certain limit. Frisking and humiliating Kulbhushan’s mother is equal to the disrobing of Draupadi in epic Mahabharat which we can’t take lightly.

“In order to teach a fitting lesson to Pakistan, the Centre should wage a full-fledged war against Pakistan, destroy it and split it into four territories.  Even if we don’t start a war in the near future, we should make arrangements for it to be waged after some time.  This is my personal opinion and I’m sure the party (BJP) would toe my line sooner than later,” Swamy concluded.
