How Hindu MP gave the perfect reply to being called a cow worshipper in Pakistan

About a year ago, the US Commission for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) released a report on the attacks against India's minority communities. And the numbers suggested that the attacks against Christians and Muslims in the past one year have increased in India, despite its pluralistic and democratic status. But when it comes to attacks on minorities, India isn't alone. It's the same for Pakistani Hindus living in Pakistan. Mr Lal Malhi, a Hindu member of Parliament in Pakistan points out in this video, that he has incessantly been mocked as a "cow worshipper", something that constitutes Hindu's beliefs and there is nothing wrong in worshipping cows.

"I was shocked to hear that MNA Jamshed Dasti and former Prime Minister, Mir Zafaralluh Khan Jamali stating that Hindus are those who worship the cow," he said. "I'm aware of the rules and business of the house and have great respect for senior lawmakers but why isn't anyone talking about the 14-year old boy who was abducted and forcefully converted into a Muslim?" he asked the speaker of the house.
