Pakistan has categorically rejected Indian Government’s baseless allegations of persecution of minorities in Pakistan.
In a statement, Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr. Mohammad Faisal said that percentage of minorities in Pakistan has increased over the past decades.
According to the first Census in Pakistan, the total population of minorities in West Pakistan (today’s Pakistan) was 3.12 percent in 1951, which increased upto 3.72 percent by 1998.
The Spokesperson said the Indian Government’s claims are an attempt to cover up its systematic efforts to marginalize and disenfranchise India’s religious and social minorities, particularly Muslims.
