Ramya Responds To Pakistan Controversy!

Divya Spandana alias Ramya had been in Pakistan for the SAARC summit. On her return, she spoke about the hospitality of Pakistan. This lead to a severe controversy and people started trolling her online and many started to protest against her. Even some people asked the former MP to move to Pakistan. It is also rumored that “Jaggesh” said that Ramya is not fit to be in India. Amidst all the controversies, Ramya stood up for her and explained the situation. She said, “I went to Pakistan for the SAARC Youth Summit. I spoke about peace, harmony and unity in diversity. When I got back, I was asked how Pakistan was and I said that the people there are just like us and that we were treated very well. There was a lot of respect. In fact, when I landed in Pakistan, the airlines lost my bag. I landed there only with the Madhubani painting that I had carried as a gift for the Pakistan Speaker. When I went to buy some outfits, the shopkeeper was excited that I was from India, and got pastries and juice from the next shop. When I narrated this to the people at the summit, they exchanged similar tales. In fact, Pakistani politician Rashid Godil told me that when he went to a Dhaba in Delhi, the owner refused to take any money citing that Pakistanis are special guests and that he was privileged to serve them. People genuinely want peace across the border and want to solve issues, which is why I was there. I stand by my statement that people in Pakistan are just like us and the media has misconstrued this whole thing. Before I left, I was quite apprehensive. Even the Maldives head said in the closing ceremony that when he was going to Pakistan, his son said 'Papa, please don't go.' Pakistanis themselves face terrorism. The only way we can resolve it is if we can step aside from the inciting violence and keep away from the petty, trivial things, and join together to fight as one unit.”
