Protests in Pakistan over Modi's remarks, Rohingyas' genocide

Islamabad, June 13: Protests were held across Pakistan's Sindh province to voice anger over what people described as "Indian war hysteria and inhuman brutalities being meted out to the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar". Activists of almost all religious parties and a number of political parties took out rallies and staged demonstrations across Sindh on Friday, Dawn online reported. Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) and Pakistan Sunni Tehreek (PST) protesters burnt Indian flags and effigies of the Indian prime minister at the end of their rallies. Sindh PML-Q president Haleem Adil Shaikh, while addressing workers outside the Press Club in Hyderabad city, said that all Pakistanis were united for the security and integrity of their homeland. If India committed the mistake of resorting to aggression, the entire nation would back its army, he said. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a June 7 address at Dhaka University, blamed Pakistan for spreading terrorism and fear in India, saying: "Every now and then Pakistan keeps disturbing India, creates nuisance, promotes terrorism and such incidents keep recurring."
