Pakistan has strongly rejected as fabrication the Indian propaganda about treatment of minorities in the country.
According to a statement issued by Foreign Office Spokesperson Aisha Farooqui, the 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 and a desperate attempt to divert attention from the ongoing state terrorism in occupied Jammu and Kashmir and systematic discrimination against minorities in India.
The statement said 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.
The Spokesperson said Pakistan attaches the highest respect and sanctity to all places of worship, including those belonging to Sikh religion.
