Pakistan rejects Indian propaganda about treatment of minorities

ISLAMABAD: (HRNW)  Pakistan has on Monday strongly turned down the Indian propaganda about treatment of minorities in the country.

Foreign Office Spokesperson Aisha Farooqui in her statement said that the Bhartia Janta Party (BJP) government’s mischievous portrayal of isolated law and order incidents in Peshawar and Nankana Sahib as alleged ‘persecution’ of minorities is part of its smear campaign against Pakistan.

She termed the Indian move as a desperate attempt to divert attention from the ongoing state terrorism in occupied Jammu and Kashmir and systematic discrimination against minorities in India.

“Pakistan completely rejects these fabrications, which will in no way shield the BJP government from opprobrium by the international community on its illegal actions in occupied Kashmir and the adverse fallout of the discriminatory Citizenship Amendment Act and National Register of Citizens.”
