He stated that Pakistanis are being fed "stories of hate for the purpose of politics" while pointing to the well-kept dargah in his ancestral hamlet, which is mainly frequented by Hindus. The comment was made in a podcast on a personal YouTube channel called "The Pakistan Experience" by Uzair Younus, the director of the Pakistan Initiative at the South Asia Center of the Atlantic Council. In the podcast, he discussed, among other things, his recent trip to India, the country's rapidly rising inflation, its advancements in technology, and racial harmony there.
