Fayyazul Hassan Chohan, the Punjab Information and Culture Minister in Pakistan, resigned on Tuesday following immense criticism over his anti-Hindu comments. He was summoned earlier by Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, where he was asked to turn in his resignation papers, Geo News reported quoting sources.
“The Punjab CM sought an explanation from Chohan regarding his anti-Hindu remarks. There were complaints against Chohan earlier as well owing to which he was sent warnings,” they said. Chohan had made derogatory remarks against Hindus and after the video of his comments went viral, there was a huge outcry in the country. Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan had denounced his remarks as well. Earlier in the day, Chohan had apologised for the comments.
