This is not the first time Pakistan has made comments on Indian internal affairs and Delhi has always categorically rejected Islamabad’s comments.

In April this year, India had strongly rejected Pakistan’s criticism of the Waqf Amendment Act and said Islamabad should look into its own “abysmal” record in protecting the rights of minorities instead of preaching to others.
