    How exactly?

    They claim that they are doing this to help non-muslim refugees fleeing places like Pakistan. Their claim is that they can’t accommodate all refugees so the first preference is for non-muslims being persecuted.

    If Pakistan didn’t exist, this persecution wouldn’t be there?

      There are no refugees fleeing either country, the borders are locked down and heavily militarized.

      The people who do cross the border with visas are very few and only get access via special approval such as if they have family or business due to closeness to the border.

      Pakistan doesn’t even accept refugees as citizens anymore because they don’t ever expect anyone to come from India.

      The joke is that Pakistan’s founders claimed a united India would never last because it would fall to the Hindu majority who would nationilze around their identity and oppress everyone else which is exactly what happend. And not just with Muslims, the Sikh as well who get frequently blamed for public outrage and protests.

      This all happening just gives credit for Pakistan’s purpose because it is a separate country that was created with the intent of avoiding explained problem by being a separate entity and moving all the Muslims there. For its purpose of avoiding being an oppressed minority, it succeded.

      Although I do think they should reopen the border and let the remaining Muslim population in India easily move seeing as they are at the hands of Modi who was already involved in a Massacre not even 2 decades ago.
