Pakistan express concerns over discriminatory, anti-muslim policies of Modi govt.

Foreign Office Spokesperson Aisha Farooqui in her weekly news briefing in Islamabad on Thursday has expressed deep concerns over the discriminatory and anti-Muslim policies and practices of the RSS inspired Indian government.

Unfortunately, these policies persist regardless of the challenge posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

It all started in March when right-wing Hindu nationalists, including some ruling party politicians, accused Tableeghi Jamaat in India for being responsible for the spread of coronavirus. Muslim patients have been segregated from Hindus with growing incidents of violence against Muslims, accusing them of being the source of Covid-19.

The Islamophobic comments were also made by certain Indian expatriates. That triggered a strong reaction from member of the UAE Royal family. Princess Hend Al Qassimi, called out a series of “Islamophobic posts” on Twitter last week by a user named Saurabh Upadhyay.

Noteworthy, Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) has also expressed deep concern over the continuous rise of anti-Muslim sentiment and Islamophobia in political and media circles as well as on social media platforms where the Indian Muslim minority is accused of the spread of the coronavirus.
