Scores of Youth Congress workers today protested against the Pakistan government over the Gurdaspur terror attacks and nuclear scientist A Q Khan’s “disgraceful” comments about former President A P J Abdul Kalam.
Accusing Pakistan of supporting terrorism in India, the tricolour-wielding activists raised slogans against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and demanded an apology from him.
The Government of India need to break all relations with Pakistan in view of Khan’s statement and the recent terror attacks in Gurdaspur.
— Amit Malik, IYC Delhi unit President
A Q Khan reportedly described Kalam as an “ordinary” scientist.
The protesters, led by Malik, were halted by police near Chanakyapuri police station as they tried to march towards the Pakistan High Commission.
A few were detained for trying to remove the barricades.
