Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Tuesday defended his recent 'butcher of Gujarat' remarks about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that he was "referring to a historical fact”. The foreign minister had said that instead of being punished for the 2002 massacre of over 2,000 Muslims in Gujarat, Modi was made the prime minister of India. He was banned from entering this country until he became prime minister. This is the prime minister of the RSS and the foreign minister of the RSS. In an interview with Bloomberg published today, the foreign minister defended his remarks, saying that he was “referring to historical reality".
