This is not a first time a bigoted statement against the Hindu community has been made by members of the ruling party. In March 2019. Punjab Information Minister Fayyazul Hasan Chohan was sacked by the Punjab government over use of derogatory language against the Hindu community. He was later reinstated by the provincial government,
Addressing a press conference Chohan had used derogatory terms such as ‘cow urine drinkers’ and ‘idol worshippers’ for the Hindu community. Later, he apologized saying that he was referring to the ‘Hindus of India and not those living in Pakistan’.
