Slamming Pakistan for spewing unfounded hate and propaganda about minorities being unhappy in India, Union Minister for Minority Affairs, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi quipped on Saturday (7 September) that Pakistan is hell, and India is heaven for minorities, reports The Economic Times.
He said, "The fact is Pakistan is jahannam (hell) for minorities while India is jannat (heaven) for them."
Responding to the Pakistani Prime Minister’s unending remarks against India, Naqvi said, "Imran Khan has become a laughing stock. He has not just become isolated but is also exposed globally. His own countrymen are not taking him seriously. "
Naqvi added that no social, economic, education or constitutional rights are available to minorities in Pakistan. He detailed how minorities in the country had gone from 22 per cent of the population at the time of partition to just 2 per cent today. He reasoned that this could only be caused by mass murder of mass conversion.
