Bengaluru: Former Prime Minister of India H.D. Deve Gowda today opined on the actress turned politician Ramya’s remarks on Pakistan and said that the actress was no way wrong while she spoke about Pakistani people and praised them for their hospitality.
Speaking to reporters, Gowda said “Ramya need not apologize for what she said. No one should politicize this issue.”
“Pakistan too has good people. They want a good relationship with India. Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee improved India-Pakistan relations by connecting them with road transport. But because of the fundamentalists from both the countries, the bilateral relations have not been good”, he added.
Ramya who recently visited Pakistan to attend the SAARC summit for young parliamentarians had attracted criticism mainly from BJP members for praising Pakistani people. She has not apologised for her remarks so far.
