Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Shibli Faraz on Wednesday said the statement of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on countering anti-Muslim hatred being his top priority was victory of Pakistan's stance.
In a tweet, the minister welcomed the United Nations Secretary General's pledge to root out Islamophobia as his top priority.
He said that attributing coronavirus to Muslims was a reflection of BJP's extremist thinking and its myopic mindset.
He said that extremist attitude towards Muslims in India was a violation of human rights.
United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres had told a virtual meeting of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states at the UN that countering anti-Muslim hatred and Islamophobia was his "top priority".
