Pak Prez says Hindus in Pak as free as anywhere else, gives wrong data to back claim

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, while speaking at Independence Day gathering, said, "We are Muslims of the mindset that tolerates. We have a 4% Hindu population in Pakistan." "They are as free as anywhere else...They would rather be with us than in India," he added. Notably, as per Pakistan's latest 2023 census, Hindus make up 2.17% of the country's population.
