Indian envoy summoned to convey Pakistan's strong rejection of baseless allegations
The DG underscored that the Constitution of Pakistan guarantees equal rights to all its citizens
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Indian Charge d Affaires Gaurav Ahluwaliawas was summoned at the Foreign Office today (Tuesday) to convey Pakistan s strong rejection of baseless and fabricated Indian allegations concerning the Sikh community.
The Director General South Asia and SAARC Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri conveyed Pakistan s strong denouncement of the Indian government s motivated and mischievous allegations of attack, vandalism and desecration at the holy Gurdwara Nankana Sahib and targeted killing of a Pakistani Sikh youth in Peshawar, as part of its desperate attempts to divert attention from the continuing state terrorism in Occupied Jammu & Kashmir and systematic discrimination against minorities in India.
The DG underscored that the Constitution of Pakistan guarantees equal rights to all its citizens and the government is committed to protecting the rights of minorities, with zero-tolerance against any discrimination.
It was emphasized that rather than pointing fingers towards others, India should focus on ensuring effective protection of its own minorities and their holy places of worship, including mosques, from repeated instances of desecration, hate crimes and mob lynchings.
