NEW DELHI: Ex- cricketer Mohammad Kaif  took on Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday over the latter’s harsh comment that members of the minority community are insecure in India.

Kaif Taking  to social media platform Twitter pointed out at Pakistan's minority population which has  decreased to 2 per cent from 20 per cent at the time of Partition in 1947.

“There were around 20% minorities at the time of Partition in Pakistan, less than 2% remain now. On the other hand minority population has grown significantly in India since Independence. Pakistan is the last country that should be lecturing any country on how to treat minorities.”

His remarks appeared a day after All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader Asaduddin Owaisi lashed Khan on the micro blogging site, suggesting the latter to learn from India “about inclusive politics and minority rights”.

“According to the Pakistani Constitution, only a Muslim is qualified to be President. India has seen multiple Presidents from oppressed communities. It's high time Khan sahab learns something from us about inclusive politics & minority rights,” Owaisi wrote on his twitter handle.

 Worth mention here PM  Khan had earlier referred Naseeruddin Shah's proclamation on mob violence alleging that the members of the minority community were insecure in India and were not being treated as equal citizens like Pakistan.

“I feel worried thinking about my children because they have not received any religious education. We chose not to give any religious education to our children because I believe that good or evil has nothing to do with religion,” Shah had stated last week.

The Pakistan PM had also claimed that his government would show the PM Narendra Modi led government in India that how to treat minorities and make them feel safe in their nation.
