CPI leader D. Raja has said BJP general secretary Ram Madhav’s statement that India, Pakistan and Bangladesh would get reunited one day to form ‘Akhand Bharat’ would derail peace efforts in the sub-continent.
Mr. Raja told The Hindu here on Sunday that the BJP general secretary’s explanation that he had spoken as a RSS volunteer rather than as a BJP leader did not mean much as his statement showed the RSS wanted to set the agenda for the BJP and the Narendra Modi government. “This is nothing but an attempt to put the RSS agenda at the forefront, and this will douse all expectations that the Prime Minister’s sudden visit to Lahore had generated,” he said.
India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are sovereign nations. The effort should be to build conditions conducive to their peaceful coexistence.
