The provincial minister said that he was referring to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Indian media.

Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 5th March, 2019) Punjab Information Minister Fayyaz ul Hassan Chohan has apologised over his derogatory remarks against the Hindu community.

Clarifying his comments on Tuesday, the provincial minister said that he was only referring to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Indian media.

He said that he did not mean to hurt the sentiments of Hindu community.

The minister further said that we will give a befitting response to anyone who sees Pakistan with an evil eye.

Fayyaz ul Hassan Chohan has landed himself in hot water for making remarks against the Hindu community.

The outspoken minister is often a target of criticism over his certain remarks and this time it was upon his remarks against the Hindus.

A video of the minister had surfaced where he referred to the Hindus as "cow urine-drinking people".

"We are Muslims and we have a flag, the flag of Maula Alia's bravery, and flag of Hazrat Umara's valour. You don't have that flag; it isn't in your hands," Fayyaz ul Hassan Chohan had said.

"Don't operate under the delusion that you are seven times better than us. What we have, you can't have, you idol-worshippers," he said in a video that went viral on the social media.

These remarks were met with harsh criticism as nobody is ready to tolerate such remarks against any religious minority in Pakistan.

The PTI had also condemned his remarks.
