"'Our protest is against none other than the United States which is solely responsible for masterminding a war against the Muslim world,' he said. 'The Indian government should sever all diplomatic ties with the United States and recall its ambassador,' Qureshi said by telephone from Meerut."

Whahuh?

"Qureshi also said he had made these comments as an individual and not as a minister.

The government of Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state that has a large Muslim community, said the minister’s statements were 'his personal wish' and did not violate government rules.

The state’s Principal Home Secretary Alok Sinha said: 'Mere announcement of this kind does not amount to a crime.'

'Let me clarify that he did not make the announcement in his capacity as a minister.

'Secondly, the reference is being made to something that has happened outside the geographical boundaries of India. Lastly, he was simply expressing the common feeling of members of his community,' Sinha said.

The home secretary also denied that such an announcement could cause sectarian tension."

WHAHUH?
