Rajkot (Gujarat): As part of its nationwide protests on Saturday against Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardariโs remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) held demonstrations in Rajkot, Gujarat, and demanded from Islamabad.
A large number of party workers and leaders gathered at the Zilla Panchayat Chowk in Rajkot and shouted slogans against Bilawal Bhutto and demanded that he should apologise for his statement on PM Modi. Kamlesh Mirani, the president of the Rajkot unit of BJP, said that the defamatory remarks made by Pakistanโs foreign minister cannot be accepted and they strongly condemned it. โPakistan government must apologize for the statement given by Pakistan foreign minister,โ Mirani said.
Ex-BJP MLA Govind Bhai Patel also criticized the Pakistan foreign ministerโs remark and said that the Pakistan government must apologise.

The โderogatoryโ remarks made by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari against PM Modi have sparked outrage across the country, and the BJP is holding protests in all the state capitals across the country.
The outrage and protests follow the Pakistan ministerโs defamatory remarks made during a press conference at the United Nations in New York.
Describing Bilawal Bhuttoโs remark as โhighly derogatory and full of cowardiceโ, the BJP on Friday said that the remarks were made to divert global attention from Pakistanโs collapsing economy, lawlessness, and anarchy.
โThe statement is also aimed at misleading the world and diverting global attention from Pakistanโs collapsing economy, lawlessness and anarchy in Pakistan, simmering differences in the Pakistani army, its deteriorating global relations, and the fact that Pakistan has become a major sanctuary for terrorists,โ the party said.
On Friday, BJP workers staged a protest outside Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi against Bilawal Bhuttoโs statement.
