Seoul [South Korea], May 26 (ANI): CPI (M) MP Dr John Brittas, who is one of the members of all-party delegation in Seoul, South Korea, addressed the Indian community on Sunday and said that Pakistan is a theocratic state.

Brittas said in his address, 'One aspect that you need to underline is the culture of India...There are five political parties, three of which are in opposition, and only two are the ruling parties. But when we are here for a mission, we are united...We have a Constitution, which is a secular and democratic Constitution, whereas Pakistan is a theocratic state...we have a different trajectory altogether...'

Earlier today, Janata Dal United (JDU) MP Sanjay Jha, who is leading an all-party delegation to the Republic of Korea and other key Asian nations, strongly criticised Pakistan on the issue of terrorism, terming it a 'factory of terrorism.'

Addressing the Indian community in Seoul, the capital city of the Republic of Korea, Jha highlighted India's firm stance against terrorism and reiterated the country's new normal against terrorism - 'If you hit us, we will hit you back.'

The delegation leader, Jha, also hailed Operation Sindoor, under which terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) was hit with precision.

Jha said, 'All the opposition parties are together saying that this is the new normal- If you hit us, we will hit you back. During Operation Sindoor, terrorist infrastructure was hit with such precision that not a single civilian on the Pakistani side was killed... Pakistan tried to attack India through drones, they tried to hit out at civilians, temples, and gurudwaras, but didn't succeed. The people of India have made up their minds that not only terrorists but we will also those who nurture and fund terrorism. Pakistan is the factory of terrorism. There are no factories in Pakistan; the only factory there is of terrorism...'

Jha emphasised the unity among Indian political parties in the fight against terrorism.

Earlier in the day, Group 3 of India's all-party parliamentary delegation, led by JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha, held a meeting with Ambassador of India to the Republic of Korea, Amit Kumar, at the Indian Embassy in Seoul. (ANI)
