Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, the former Union Minister suggested that like the U.S. does with its sanctions, India should tell all major nations who have trade with Pakistan that they cannot come to our market if they have trade with Islamabad.

"In 1972, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto had said, 'we will bleed India with a thousand cuts'. Following that, terror attacks have taken place in Parliament in 2001, Kaluchak massacre in 2002, Indian Institute of Science was attacked in 2005, Mumbai train bombings in July 2006, Mumbai attack in 2008, Pathankot airbase attack in 2016, Uri terror strike in 2016 and Pulwama suicide bombings in 2019, this continues," he said.

"In this context, I want to suggest to the PM to convene a special session of Parliament and hold discussion over this, because the country is standing with you. The Opposition is with you because it is an attack on India's sovereignty," the Independent Rajya Sabha MP said.
