NEW DELHI (WION) – Pakistan’s President Arif Alvi urged France on Saturday to desist from entrenching “discriminatory attitudes” against Muslims into laws aimed at fighting so-called extremism.

Alvi was referring to a bill introduced by French President Emmanuel Macron last year to fight “Islamist separatism”. France is the Western country hardest hit by jihadist terrorism.

Arif Alvi believes: “When you see that laws are being changed in favour of a majority to isolate a minority, that is a dangerous precedent.”
