“Pakistan has made opposition and hostility toward India a part of its policy, the consequences of which are evident in recent events. Due to its brutality and internal instability, even Pakistan's identity politics is now at risk,” said Indresh Kumar, an RSS leader and the mentor of Muslim Rashtriya Manch, at an Iftar gathering in New Delhi.
He said, "Everything that is born will eventually perish. The same will happen with Pakistan. But India is eternal, unborn, and immortal." He emphasized that by choosing the path of peace and development, India has emerged as a global power, whereas Pakistan embraced division and terrorism, leading to its current struggles with separatism and internal rebellion.
"Even Muslims in Pakistan do not feel safe in the country that was created in the name of their identity. Ordinary Pakistanis fear that China will take over their land, and this fear is deeply troubling them."
Indresh Kumar further stated, "While all religions and communities in India promote brotherhood and peace, Pakistan is nearing its natural demise and is on the verge of breaking into four parts."
The recent hijacking of the Jaffar Express by the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has exposed Pakistan’s internal security failures. Reports claim 214 hostages were killed, while the Pakistani army eliminated 33 BLA fighters in fierce clashes. Reacting to this, Indresh Kumar said that Pakistan’s military and government policies have completely disillusioned its citizens, with terrorism and military dictatorship making life unbearable for the common man.

On the other hand, a grand Iftar gathering in Delhi’s Nizamuddin showcased India’s shared culture and Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb. It was organized by Muslim Rashtriya Manch’s National Conveners, Dr. Shalini Ali and Bilal Ur Rahman and people of all faiths attended it.
Among others, the Iftar gathering was attended by Iqbal Singh Lalpura, Chairman, National Commission for Minorities, Dr. Shahid Akhtar , Chairman, NCMEI, Shahid Sayeed, Journalist, Ravindra Goyal, Jhandewalan Temple Trustee, and Amin Syed Afsar Ali Nizami of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya Dargah.
Before the Iftar, Imam Umair Ilyasi led a special prayer for peace and harmony, which filled the atmosphere with positive energy.
Iqbal Singh Lalpura remarked, "India’s strength lies in its diversity. We celebrate all festivals together—be it Ramzan, Holi, Eid, or Easter."
Dr. Shahid Akhtar stated, "True progress and harmony come only through education and awareness. When we embrace each other through knowledge and understanding, real development becomes possible."
The participation of people from all faiths and backgrounds in the Iftar gathering stood as a powerful testament to India’s tolerance and brotherhood. In contrast, Pakistan’s situation is deteriorating rapidly. With growing unrest in Balochistan, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan’s territorial integrity is under severe threat.
Indresh Kumar concluded, "In India, people of all religions come together to celebrate each other’s festivals with love and harmony. Meanwhile, Pakistan is engulfed in hatred, terrorism, and radicalism. This proves that India’s path is the right one, while Pakistan is paying the price for its mistakes. The flames of separatism in Pakistan are only intensifying. While India stands as a model of communal harmony and reconciliation, Pakistan is trapped in its web and is on the brink of collapse."
