"Pakistan, which roams around the world with a bowl in its hand, is threatening a huge country like India, which is providing free ration to 81 crore people, three times the population of Pakistan. Pakistan is sending its terrorists and getting innocent people killed. For these sins, it would be appropriate to call it 'Paapistan' instead of Pakistan. We all have to remain united to fight a demon country like Pakistan."
