Karnataka minister offers to “wear suicide bomb” for country
Bengaluru : Amid post-Pahalgam tensions, the Karnataka Minister for Housing, Waqf, and Minority Affairs, B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan, made a statement on Friday, declaring that he is willing to “wear a suicide bomb and go to Pakistan” if the nation needs him.
Addressing the media, the Congress leader asserted his patriotism and expressed his readiness to serve on the front lines. He said, clenching his fists, “We are Indians, we are Hindustani, there is no connection between us and Pakistan. If needed, I will go to war. If the country wants, let Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah give me a suicide bomb, I will wear it and go to Pakistan.”
His remarks came after his party colleague and Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was criticized for his statement against war. Advocating for peace, strong internal security, and questioning security lapses in Jammu and Kashmir, Siddaramaiah had said, “There is no necessity to wage war against Pakistan.”
The CM clarified his stance after backlash from political opponents and coverage in Pakistani media, saying, “War should be the last resort, only when all other options have failed. The Centre’s diplomatic steps, including the reconsideration of the Indus Waters Treaty, are welcome, and we expect more stringent actions.”
