Sushma Swaraj
After two teenage Hindu girls were abducted and forcibly converted in Pakistan’s Sindh, minister of external affairs Sushma Swaraj had put out a tweet asking details from the Indian envoy in Pakistan about the matter.
The Pakistani minister then replied back saying he was happy that in Indian administration we have people who care for minority rights in other countries, adding “ Gujarat and Jammu must weigh heavily on your soul”.
Post the twitter spat, India sent a note of protest or “note verbale” on Sunday asking Pakistan to take “remedial action” to ensure the safety of its citizens from minority communities, reports The Hindu.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
