Has Imran Khan any right to lecture India?

Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan cited actor Naseeruddin Shah to describe "intolerance against Muslims in India". Khan added that Muhammed Ali Jinnah had "understood" this and that this very "intolerance" was why Pakistan was formed.

Imran Khan was speaking at an event to highlight 100-day achievement of Punjab government in Lahore. He said that it was Pakistan's duty to safeguard all religions and their places. He resolved to "show" Narendra Modi government how rights of every countryman are preserved.

"We will show the Modi government how to treat minorities...Even in India, people are saying that minorities are not being treated as equal citizens," he said as he referred to Naseeruddin Shah's statement.

BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra on Sunday (December 23) slammed Imran Khan for citing actor Shah's latest statement to describe "intolerance against Muslims in India".
