Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has once again talked about the ‘minorities’ issue and on Monday stated his country’s founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah was an envoy of Hindu-Muslim harmony.

PM Khan took to  micro blogging website Twitter on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Jinnah, also dubbed  Quaid-i-Azam, and stated “The Quaid envisaged Pakistan as a democratic, just and compassionate nation. Most importantly, he wanted our minorities to be equal citizens. It should be remembered that his early political career was as an ambassador of Hindu Muslim unity.”

Just after his tweet the Pakistan PM faced a counterattack from Indians over his statement as it lacked reliability that comes from being supported by history and records. The mass departure of non-Muslims from Pakistan during the Partition in 1947 is not the only time when  non-Muslims were victimized in Pakistan. Not only was Pakistan's Punjab governor Salman Taseer murdered by radicals for defending the minorities, but a Christian woman Asia Bibi's trial on Blasphemy charges in Pakistan have also astounded the world too.

Pak PM Imran Khan, though, sustained to admire Jinnah’s contribution towards identical rights to all citizens in Pakistan and stated the Islamic nation treats everyone uniformly, “unlike India”.

“His (Jinnah’s) struggle for a separate nation for Muslims only started when he realised that Muslims would not be treated as equal citizens by the Hindu majority. Naya Pakistan (Imran’s motto promising a new-age Pakistan) is Quaid’s Pakistan and we will ensure that our minorities are treated as equal citizens, unlike what is happening in India,” he asserted in his post on Twitter.

In a scornful attack at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the National Democratic Alliance government, Khan had on December 22 passed a comment asserting he will “show” the Indian government “how to treat minorities”.
