A video of an Oxford University student union debate between an Indian student and his Pakistani counterpart is going viral on social media after a massive controversy erupted as Pakistan Oxford Union President Moosa Harraj pulled a stunt and allowed his country to claim another debate victory that should never have been.
The debate between Harraj and Mumbai-born Viraansh Bhanushali took place in November and now a clip of an Indian student admitting to writing Harraj’s pro-Pakistan speech is going viral.
“Moosa is not only the president of this union, he’s also Pakistani and a very, very dear friend of mine. I’ve actually spent months working with him as his chief of staff, which makes tonight a bit awkward because technically I’m supposed to make him look good. But here I am, last night, writing his speech for him,” says Bhanushali.
However, his next turn took everyone by surprise.
“I’m happy to admit that sometimes an Indian needs to clean up the ineptitude of a Pakistani,” Bhanushali said to cheers and applause.
What did Moosa Harraj say about India?
In a video clip widely shared on X, Pakistani student Moosa Harraj is heard calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi an “obedient soldier” of the RSS.
“We have to speak the truth which polite diplomacy tries to hide. PM Modi is not a lone actor. He is an obedient soldier of RSS. You cannot understand Modi without understanding RSS and you cannot understand RSS without understanding a sentence that their ideologue Golvarka wrote about Nazi Germany. He called Nazi Germany a good lesson for us in Hindustan which is heard in Hindustan that it is the ideology of today and profit.” he says.
He said that India needs Pakistan.
“From the ashes of the 2002 Gujarat riots, when Mr. Modi presided over the slaughter of thousands of Muslims, to the destruction of the Babri Masjid, their playbook has remained consistent. Power is consolidated by making a permanent enemy. Their version of a Hindu Rashtra, a pure ethno-religious state,” argued Harraj, cannot exist without the other.
“If Pakistan disappeared tomorrow, the BJP would have to invent us. Because without a monster next door, they would have to answer to their own people for hunger, poverty and economic turmoil,” said a Pakistani student.
