Rahul Gandhi's take on Pakistan

Shimla: Rahul Gandhi has said that India "gives too much importance to Pakistan." 

Speaking in Shimla, the Congress General Secretary said India has acquired a stature far greater than Pakistan's.

"I don't think we should be compared to Pakistan. There's no comparison. I feel we give too much time in our mind to Pakistan. I don't think Pakistan is half as important as we make it, he said.

"We are at different level now, we are becoming a serious international player. Pakistan is a small piece of our worldview. There are issues coming out of Pakistan that have to be managed and they will be managed," he added.
