Rajnath Singh asserts minority communities in India are safe unlike in Pakistan

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has asserted, minority communities in India were safe, are safe and will remain safe unlike in Pakistan. Mr Singh said, the population of minorities in India has increased since Independence, while human rights violations keep taking place in Pakistan against Sikhs, Buddhists and others.

He was speaking at a felicitation programme for the families of 122 soldiers who lost their lives in the line of duty at Surat in Gujarat on Saturday. The Defence Minister said,



Pakistan should stop promoting terrorism, otherwise no one will be able to prevent its disintegration.

Mr Singh also warned Pakistan that if its people cross the Line of Control, the Indian Army will not allow them to return. He said Pakistan is unable to digest India's decision to abrogate Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and went to the United Nations to mislead it. He said, the international community is not willing to believe what Pakistan is saying.
