The U.S. Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan has removed a tweet which pointed out Pakistan’s religious intolerance against its Ahmadiyya community.
The embassy had issued a tweet on Tuesday afternoon urging the public to watch Salam, a documentary film on Abdus Salam, a Nobel prize winning physicist. Salam was shunned by Pakistan due to his Ahmadiyya Muslim faith.
“If you want to figure out what’s wrong with Pakistan, watch #SalamOnNetflix”
The tweet was quickly deleted soon after, but not before it was saved tech savvy Pakistani twitter users.
