New Delhi, Oct 13: Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday, Oct 13 said that India is giving too much time and importance to Pakistan.
Addressing a press conference in Shimla, he said, "Pakistan's internal issues do affect us, but we are giving too much time and importance to Pakistan in our minds. To my mind, it deserves not half the importance we are giving it."
"If you see, the attitude of the world has changed towards Pakistan. It's not a one day job. It's a long process. India has created pressure (on it) and the entire world is putting pressure on Pakistan," he said.
Rahul also said, "Certain issues related to Pakistan have to be managed, which is already being done. We are on a comfortable position. There is no comparison between India and Pakistan."
Taking a dig at opposition parties, particularly the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), he said, "It has 1,000 year old ideology. They are just talking about Jinnah (Pakistan's founder Mohammed Ali Jinnah), which is history now. I can't think about Jinnah even for five seconds... not for one second."
