Mr. Mahli called out on the taunts and remarks that he had received a few days prior to the session. One of them, was being called a ‘cow-worshiper’. Mr. Mahli’s response was crisp and very to-the-point. He said that it is his right to be a ‘cow-worshiper’ and no one is supposed to question that.
In his emotional rant, the lawmaker also mentioned that in the House, he was constantly taunted for being a Hindu. He stated that he was a Pakistani at the end of the day and that is what should matter.
The lawmaker had a problem with the fact that instead of criticizing India, the House Members came down to criticizing Hindus for no reason at all, while at the same time, not even making a mention of the forced abduction and religious conversion of a Hindu teenager that had taken place recently.
