India officially slams Pak PM Imran Khan for bizarre rant; shames his 'abysmal handling'

India on Sunday trashed Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's comments alleging targeting of Muslims in country in backdrop of coronavirus pandemic. External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said "bizarre comments" by Pakistani leadership was an attempt to shift focus from "abysmal handling" of that country's internal affairs.

In a tweet, Khan accused Indian government of deliberately targeting Muslim community against backdrop of coronavirus crisis.

"Instead of concentrating on fighting COVID19, y are making baseless allegations against ir neighbours," MEA spokesperson said.

He was responding to media queries on Khan's remarks.

"On subject of mirities, y (Pakistani leadership) would be well advised to address concerns of ir own dwindling mirity communities, which have been truly discriminated against," Srivastava said.
