World urged to take notice of India’s minorities’ insecurity
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has urged the international community to take notice of the insecurity faced by minorities in India.
In a statement issued yesterday, he said: “India has currently been divided into two ideologies.
“Those in support of secular India are protesting while on the other side, Modi government wants to impose Hindutva agenda in the country.”
He said democratic values are being suppressed in India while Hindutva philosophy is being promoted.
Qureshi said everyone is sad over the maltreatment with religious scholars in Utter Pradesh.
He said police “even manhandled Priyanka Gandhi, not to speak of the common man”.
This situation prevails across the country, but the Modi government is unmoved, he added.
“The Indian government has blocked the voice of occupied Kashmir through communication blackout and curfew, but the voice of the entire India cannot be suppressed,” Qureshi added.
He said this tension is no more confined to any religion, area or language, but has spread every nook and cranny of India.
Qureshi said police are storming the Muslim majority areas and subjecting them to violence.
He said first information reports (FIRs) have been registered against 10,000 students for holding protest demonstrations.
Qureshi said that India could carry out drama in Kashmir to divert attention from the internal chaos.
He said that while the world must consider its own interests with India as a commercial ally, it should not be silent over the prevailing situation in India.
Qureshi said that millions of people in India have realised the facts, and the international human rights organisations as well as the foreign media are also covering these protests.
