Pakistan has decimated it’s own minorities; in India, Muslims flourish
Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman slammed the negative western perception of India and said that Muslims in India are doing much better than Muslims in Pakistan. FM Sitharaman’s comment came at the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank in Washington. Sitharaman said, “India has the second-largest Muslim population in the world, and that population is only growing in numbers. Pakistan, which was formed at the same time India was divided into two – Pakistan. Every minority has been dwindling in its number…..decimated in Pakistan. Even some of the Muslim sects have also been decimated. Violence prevails against Muhajirs, Shia and every other group you can name which is not accepted by the mainstream. I don’t know, Sunnis probably. Whereas in India you would find every strand of Muslims doing their business, their children getting educated. Fellowships are being given by the government.”
