  • MEA Spokesperson statement:
(1) Pakistan’s PM Imran Khan has once again peddled familiar falsehoods at a multilateral platform to advocate his narrow political agenda by making gratuitous and unwarranted remarks on matters entirely internal to India.
(2) It should now be clear to the entire world that this is an established pattern of his habitual and compulsive abuse of global forums.
(3) Over the past 72 years, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan has systematically persecuted all of its minorities, forcing most of them to flee to India.
(4) Pakistan must act to protect and promote the rights of its own minorities and co-religionists.
