ISLAMABAD, December 10: Pakistan has strongly condemned the latest discriminatory legislation in Indian Lok Sabha describing it as a glaring attempt by New Delhi to interfere in the neighboring countries with malafide intent.
In a statement, Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr. Muhammad Faisal said the latest legislation by Indian Lok Sabha that offers Indian nationality to the nationals of Pakistan and two other South Asian countries except Muslims is premised on a falsehood and is in complete violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international conventions on elimination of all forms of discrimination based on religion or belief.
The spokesperson said the legislation is also in complete contravention of various bilateral agreements between Pakistan and India particularly the one concerning security and rights of minorities in the respective countries. -Sabah
