Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan apologizes for statement against Hindu community.

LAHORE (Dunya News) – After facing strong backlash, Punjab Information and Culture Minister Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan Tuesday apologized for statement against the Hindu community.

The provincial minster clarified that his remarks were not meant to target the Hindu religion or community; he just addressed the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, its army and media.

“All minorities are part of Pakistan and have equal rights,” he said.

Fayyaz Chohan was slammed by his own party leaders as well as the opposition after the racist comments. Prime Minister Imran Khan was also displeased with him and said derogatory statement against any minority is not acceptable.
