Nirmala Sitharaman on Muslims Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today attacked the 'negative Western perception' against India. Speaking at an event in Washington, the Finance Minister talked about the condition of India's Muslims. He said that Muslims are happy and safe in India even better than Pakistan which cries for minorities.
Speaking at the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) event, Sitharaman said that India has the second-largest Muslim population in the world and this population is growing rapidly.
India has the second largest Muslim population in the world: Sitharaman
Sitharaman said that it is said in the Western media that the life of Muslims is made difficult in India with the support of the state, but all this is baseless. The Finance Minister said that if this was the case then how would India have the second-largest Muslim population in the world?
India's Muslims is progressing
When asked by PIIE President Adam S. Posen about the Western media's reporting of violence against India's Muslim minorities, Sitharaman responded bluntly.
The Finance Minister said that since independence in 1947, unlike Pakistan, the Muslim population in India is growing rapidly. This is only because every kind of Muslim is doing his business in India, his children are being given education, and fellowship is being given.
Muslims are also not safe in Pakistan
The Finance Minister further said that every minority in Pakistan is dwindling or diminishing in its numbers. Even some of the Muslim sects there are being attacked and wiped out despite declaring themselves as an Islamic country. He said that everyone has a feeling of insecurity in the neighboring country.
Let us tell you that Sitharaman has reached Washington to participate in the meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. She will also chair the second G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meeting.
