India Rejects Imran Khan's Remarks on Targeting Muslims

India today denied Pakistan's remarks by Prime Minister Imran Khan, claiming targeting Muslims in the country as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic.

Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said the Pakistani leader's "bizarre comments" was an effort to change the spotlight from the of the country's internal affairs.

In a tweet, Khan accused the Indian government of intentionally targeting the Muslim community against the backdrop of the coronavirus crisis.

"Instead of concentrating on fighting COVID-19, they are making baseless allegations against their neighbors," Srivastava said, while responding to media queries on Khan's remarks.

"On the subject of minorities, they (Pakistani leadership) would be well advised to address the concerns of their own dwindling minority communities, which have been truly discriminated against," Srivastava said.
