<span style="color: #222222;">India today rejected the resolution adopted by Pakistan's National Assembly on the Citizenship Amendment Act, saying it is entirely an internal affair of New Delhi.<br />''<br />''In a statement, the External Affairs Ministry said the resolution intentionally mischaracterizes the objectives of the Act which gives citizenship to persecuted religious minorities from selected countries.<br />''<br />''The Ministry asserted that the Act does not take away the citizenship of any Indian, irrespective of their faith. It said the resolution is a poorly disguised effort to divert attention from Pakistan's appalling treatment and persecution of its own religious minorities.<br />''<br />''The demographics of these minorities, whether Hindu, Christian, Sikh or other faiths, in Pakistan, speak for themselves.<br />''<br />''The MEA said it is laughable that the National Assembly of Pakistan that has itself passed discriminatory legislation against religious minorities, should point fingers at others.<br />'' <br />''New Delhi called upon Islamabad to engage in serious self-introspection rather than to falsely accuse others of what they themselves are guilty of.<br />''<br />''The Ministry said it is a thinly-veiled attempt by Pakistan to further its false narrative on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. It seeks to provide justification for Pakistan's unrelenting support for cross-border terrorist activities in India, but New Delhi is confident that such attempts will fail.</span><br />
