On Wednesday, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi urged Indian Muslims to fight for the defence of their fundamental rights in the country.
The minister warned in a statement released today that if the Muslim community remains mute, the persecution campaign against Muslims in the neighbouring countries will continue.
The banning of the hijab in educational institutions in Karnataka, India, was strongly condemned by FM Qureshi. He went on to say that human rights activists should pay attention to and speak up for the rights of Muslim female students who are being denied their fundamental right to study.
