 "Muslims not minority, Parsis are: Najma Heptullah")
Minority Affairs Minister Najma Heptullah kicked up a storm soon after assuming office with her statement that Muslims are not a minority in the country, only Parsis are. She pointed at the dwindling population of the Parsis to justify her statement. [caption id=“attachment_1547121” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Najma Heptullah. AFP.[/caption] The Times of India reports her as saying, ““Muslims are not minorities. Parsis are. We have to see how we can help them so that their numbers don’t diminish.” Outlook reports that on being pestered about her plans for Muslims she said that she headed the minority affairs ministry, not ‘a Muslim affairs’ one. As expected, her became the butt of widespread Twitter outrage and a slew of jokes.https://twitter.com/AmbaAzaad/status/471549606359072768
