Fawad Chaudhry claps back at Sushma Swaraj over tweet on forced conversion of Hindu sisters

ISLAMABAD - Responding to a tweet from Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj over the alleged abduction of two Hindu girls, Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Sunday said unlike Prime Minister Narendra Modi's India, minorities enjoyed equal rights in Naya Pakistan of Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Chaudhry Fawad said it was an internal issue of Pakistan where minorities are protected, not like Modi's India where minorities are subjugated.

Madam Minister I am happy that in the Indian administration we have people who care for minority rights in other countries. I sincerely hope that your conscience will allow you to stand up for minorities at home as well. Gujarat and Jammu must weigh heavily on your soul. https://t.co/7D0vMiUI42

Its Imran Khan’s Naya Pakistan where the white colour of our flag is equally dearer to us. I hope you will act with the same diligence when it comes to the rights of Indian minorities. "

In response to another tweet of Sushma Swaraj, he said he was happy that in Indian administration there were people worried about the rights of minorities in other countries. He expressed the hope that her conscience would allow her to stand up for minority rights in India as well.
