After the recent morphed images and hate messages against people of the Northeast parts of India were reportedly uploaded from Pakistan, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde has talks with Pak’s Interior Minister Rehman Malik.
He urged the Pak minister to provide support to track the people who are spreading such content on social networking sites.
The Home Minister raised the issue when Rehman Malik called him yesterday when Mr. Malik called him to give best wishes to be appointed as Home Minister of India.
Further, Shinde told Malik that fake images and hat messages had created panic among northeast people and they are forced to leave cities like Hyderabad, Pune and Mumbai.

Till now, there is no official statement issued from the Pakistan High Commission, they rejected Indian govt allegations, a source said, “Pakistan wants a stable and peaceful neighbour.”
On the other hand, Mr. Shinde has said in his statement that Pak-based terror outfit Jamaat-e-Islami is responsible in spreading panic in India.
