"The parliamentarian from Pakistan, which has been abetting terrorism, sheltering terrorists and disturbing peace in India by encouraging cross-border terrorism, has no moral right to criticize India or its Prime Minister," he told reporters here.
Awais Khan Leghari, heading a parliamentarian delegation to a Track 2 dialouge process and its co-chairman, had yesterday suggested that Modi show "statesmanship" to resolve the issue between the two countries.
Naidu dismissed Leghari's remarks and sought to know the meaning of talks when they do not stop terrorists from continuing attacks and killing innocents in the sub-continent. They had also tried their best to thwart the poll process by intensifying cross-border terror attacks in J&K, he said.
On the 'smart city project', he said a meeting of chairman of all municipalities and corporations and state ministers concerned with his ministry would be held in one place or at select places (regional level) to ascertain their views.
On the furore over religion conversion, he said government was ready for a debate and favoured a law banning it. But the opposition Congress and others were only keen on creating an issue on that, forgetting that similar laws were there in Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh and Arunachal Pradesh.
On the ISIS operative's arrest in Bangalore, he said the union government was keeping a close watch and there has to be increased alert. "The ISIS is a threat to humanity," he said.
