While the minister did not mention as to whom the move was aimed at, he has been vocal against the Ahmaddiya community since long.
On April 30, he was quoted as saying that the community had not accepted themselves to be a minority, but if they do, the government will be inclusive of their opinions. He then proceeded to post a tweet with the extremist slogan that a severed head is the only punishment for blasphemy.
Later, he posted another tweet, elaborating on the subject.
