Congress' "prem" for Pakistan "doesn't seem to stop": Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar's Pak remarks stir BJP criticism
Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar's recent remarks regarding Pakistan have ignited a fresh political controversy, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accusing the Congress of having a soft stance towards India's neighbor. In an interview with 'Chill Pill,' Aiyar suggested that India should «respect» Pakistan due to its possession of nuclear weapons. He emphasized the importance of engaging in dialogue with the neighboring country. «They are also a sovereign country (Pakistan). They are a respected nation. You can talk tough with them (Pakistan). But start the dialogue. You are walking with a gun which yielded you nothing. Tensions are escalating. And if a mad person comes there, what will happen to the nation? They have an atom bomb. We also possess the atomic bomb. But if a mad person detonates our bomb at Lahore station, so within eight seconds, eight moments, its radioactivity will reach Amritsar,» Aiyar said in the video going viral on social media.

Prashanth Prakash: Master mentor
Also read | Invest in new ideas, not flavour of the season, says Accel's Prashanth Prakash This is the kind of big picture thinking that has made Prashanth one of the top venture capitalists and investors in the country — someone who continues to shape the startup ecosystem in India, which he has had a ringside view to over the span of two decades and more. At the moment, Prashanth focuses on companies in the consumer Internet services, online marketplaces and SaaS space and has led investments in startups like BlueStone, BookMyShow, FabHotels, QwikCilver, Rentomojo and TeaBox, but he will perhaps always be best remembered as the person who, along with co-founder Subrata Mitra, bet on Flipkart back when e-commerce was but a glimmer in Indian founders’ eyes.
