Citizenship Bill: Did Amit Shah Give Pak & Jinnah a Clean Chit?

The Quint  

Shah’s statement that “Muslims are not persecuted in Pakistan” also runs contrary to the stand taken by India at international fora on Balochistan. For instance, in September 2016, Ajit Kumar, India’s representative at the United Nations said, “This is a country, which has systematically abused and violated the human rights of its own citizens, including in Balochistan”. In his Independence Day Speech in 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had invoked Pakistan’s persecuted Muslim minorities by saying, “The people of Balochistan, the people of Gilgit, the people of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir have thanked me in such a manner, from places that I have never been and never had a chance to meet, they have sent wishes to the people of India and thanked us.” Around the same time PM Modi said, “Pakistan forgets that it bombs its own citizens using fighter planes. But now with Amit Shah saying that Muslims – which would include Baloch and people of PoK – are not being persecuted by Pakistan, it is not clear how India will be able to continue with this line of argument.
