New Delhi: India has said that Pakistan should fulfil all its obligations towards protecting minorities instead of commenting on others as "a fire was raging there."

Answering a query about alleged kidnapping and forced conversion of a minor Sikh girl of Nankana Sahib, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said that India has from time to time raised the issue of treatment of minorities in Pakistan.

"We have talked of harassment, violence, forced abduction, forced conversion, persecution of minorities. I feel that the minorities who are there, they have some obligations, which Pakistan should fulfil," he said.

He said the biggest thing is that before speaking of others, Pakistan should know what is happening in their house. "And everybody knows what is happening in their house. A fire is raging there," he said.

He was asked about the abduction of the daughter of a Granthi of Gurdwara in Nankana Sahib and her forcible conversion.

Answering a query on remarks by Pakistan Railway Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad about the possibility of war between India and Pakistan, Kumar said several statements have come from the neighbouring country.
