The most recent was Aiyar’s remark that the question posed to the country earlier and faced today was whether Muslims in India felt accepted, cherished and celebrated.”Many people almost prevented Partition, but it happened because there were differences in value systems and assessments of the nature of India’s nationhood and its civilisational inheritance between people like Gandhi, Pandit Nehru, Jinnah and many other Muslims who did not agree with Mr Jinnah.”But the fact is that the Partition happened and till today we are living with the consequences of that Partition. Is this how we should be living? Is that the unresolved questions of the Partition reflected in the terrible tragedy … in Pahalgam on April 22,” he had said while condemning the attack.Bhandari visited Haryana on Friday and met the family of Lt Vinay Narwal.The photo of the navy officer’s body lying on the ground in the lush Baisaran meadows of Pahalgam with his newlywed wife slumped beside it with an empty gaze has become the haunting symbol of the ghastly attack.After meeting the family, the BJP spokesperson said that Pakistan would have to pay dearly for the loss of innocent lives in the attack.”I visited the family of martyr Lt Vinay Narwal — a braveheart who was killed by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists in Pahalgam. No words can ease the pain of his wife Himanshi Narwal and his grieving family, but let it be known: India will not forgive!” he said in a post on X.”Pakistan will pay for every drop of tear, every drop of blood, every innocent life lost as PM Narendra Modi ji said ‘Mitti main mila denge’ (will raze them to the ground),” Bhandari added.
