Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday (28 January) while speaking at the annual National Cadet Corps (NCC) rally said Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) was brought by the government to correct “historical injustice” meted out to minorities in the neighbouring countries.

As per reports, Prime Minister Modi while speaking at the event cited an example of the injustice meted out to the minorities by telling the crowd how non-Muslims get discriminated in Pakistan.

“Some time ago, Pakistan’s Army had put out an advertisement. It was an ad for cleaning workers. It said that only non-Muslims could apply for the post. That means it was for these Dalits and other minorities”, Prime Minister Modi was quoted as saying.

So did the Pakistani Army really publish such an advertisement deriding non-Muslims? As it turns out, such an advertisement was indeed posted by a paramilitary force in Pakistan.

As reported, on 26 August 2018, an advertisement was published in Pakistan’s Dawn Newspaper by Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) calling for applications to fill various vacancies in the non-combatant category.
