Asif Ali Zardari said that Pakistan's Hindus would prefer to remain in the country rather than move to India.
Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari claimed that Hindus in Pakistan prefer to remain in the country rather than move to India. During an Independence Day speech on August 14, Zardari stated that while both countries hold different beliefs, Pakistanis, who are predominantly Muslim, tolerate the small Hindu population that makes up 4% of the country.
He emphasized that these Hindus are free to practice their religion in Pakistan. Zardari's remarks came as Pakistan, which gained independence a day before India, marked its 80th Independence Day. The country's leaders called for national unity, peace, and economic development. Meanwhile, India launched Operation Sindoor in response to a terror attack, leading to four days of conflict before reaching an understanding to end the crisis.
