Pak Minister Condemns Attacks on Muslims in India

Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, through a video message called upon Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries to stop attacks on Muslims in India. He said: “The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and others cannot stand by and let another Gujarat happen.”

QURESHI SAID HE HAS WRITTEN A LETTER TO SECRETARY GENERAL OF OIC, POINTING TO INDIA’S “CAMPAIGN OF ISLAMOPHOBIA” AMID THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC OUTBREAK, REPORTS DAWN.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s ISI along with some Indian Islamic radicals have stepped up a fraudulent campaign of ‘Islamophobia’ in the Gulf countries. Many of the anti-India messages were posted from fake handles based in Pakistan. It has come to the light that a fake twitter handle in the name of Princes of Oman was actually handled by a Pakistani.

The Indian government has failed to take up the plight of Hindus and other minorities in Pakistan in the wake of the outbreak of the pandemic. Hindus and Christians are forced to convert to Islam for food. Discrimination against Hindus in Sindh is rampant.

“Hate speech is being practised in India. Muslims are being discriminated against. They are not even being treated properly in hospitals. There’s a campaign not to buy from their shops and businesses. Their houses were and are being attacked. You (the international community and OIC) saw the discriminatory approach of this Hindutva BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) government. You saw that discriminatory laws were put into place. You saw NRC and Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) enforced in India,” Qureshi stated.

“The OIC, foreign ministers and the international community must take notice of this. This is a violation of UN Human Rights Council resolutions and it’s also a violation of many statements and positions taken by OIC,” he pointed out.
