In response to media queries regarding tweet by the Pakistani Prime Minister and statement by its Ministry of Foreign Affairs has denounced Pakistan’s comments over the disrespectful comments made by BJPs Spokesperson against Prophet on a live TV show.
The Official Spokesperson Shri Arindam Bagchi said, “We have noted statements and comments from Pakistan. The absurdity of a serial violator of minority rights commenting on the treatment of minorities in another nation is not lost on anyone. The world has been witness to the systemic persecution of minorities including Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and Ahmadiyyas by Pakistan.”
The Government of India accords the highest respect to all religions. This is quite unlike Pakistan where fanatics are eulogized and monuments built in their honour, the statement added.
The Spokesman said that India calls on Pakistan to focus on the safety, security and well-being of its minority communities instead of engaging in alarmist propaganda and attempting to foment communal disharmony in India.
Responding to the insulting remarks of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ by BJP spokesperson, Pakistan PM had said, “I condemn in strongest possible words hurtful comments of India’s BJP leader about our beloved Prophet (PBUH). Have said it repeatedly India under Modi is trampling religious freedoms & persecuting Muslims. World should take note & severely reprimand India. Our love for the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is supreme. All Muslims can sacrifice their life for the Love & Respect of their Holy Prophet (PBUH).”
