BJP workers in Mandya protested against Ramya, Congress leader, after she rebutted Union Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar’s comment that “going to Pakistan is like going to hell”.
Ms. Ramya, who visited Pakistan to attend SAARC conference recently, said the ground-level situation in the country was different. Reacting to her comments, former BJP State president Pralhad Joshi asked her to go to Pakistan, and BJP leader Jaggesh said she was issuing such statements to appease her party’s national leadership. — Special Correspondent
