Statement from the Pakistani Minister of Religious Affairs

The Minster of Religious Affairs for Pakistan would like to clarify a statement made by CNN saying that he believed that the tension between India and Pakistan is a “Holy War” against the Hindus, is misleading. This statement does not reflect the current views of the Minster of Religious Affairs. The Minster has been spending most of his days praying for peace between Pakistan and India. He said at a prayer meeting today, “It is troublesome that close brothers in the region are fighting over land. There are much more important issues in life and I pray that governments can come to a resolution soon. I can reassure you brethren, that the government of Pakistan wants peace and wants it as soon as possible. Bless you all brethren, bless Pakistan, bless the Indian people, and praise Allah.”
