KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan said on Tuesday no one should create such circumstances for minorities that make them start feeling unsafe in the country.
In his address with a Diwali ceremony here, Khan said the Muslims of the Sub-continent, being a minority there, were treated unfairly, which was one of the reasons for Pakistan’s formation.
He noted after Pakistan came into being, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah had said that all minorities in the country will be given complete protection.
“We should honour that; we should not, in any case, create circumstances like the Sub-continent for them [minorities],” the PTI chief said.
“It is unjustified in Islam to force convert Hindu girls after abducting them.”
Khan said extremists are in a state of denial that it would earn them blessings by forcing a person to convert to Islam, adding, “It is against the religion”.
“The extent of oppression the weak is subjected to in Sindh has no match anywhere,” he maintained. “We will make the weaker classes in entire Sindh join us.”
