Actor Hamza Ali Abbasi has always been vocal about his views, whether it comes to issues in society or human rights.

The actor has often spoken on national and religious topics and this time in Pakistan he talked about religious discrimination.

Taking to Twitter, Abbasi said: “Pakistan is not an empire or a kingdom. We Muslims didn't conquer Pakistan. We are a Muslim majority nation and state,” the Parwaaz Hai Junoon star wrote. "On 14th August 1947, everyone who resided in the boundary of Pakistan became an equal citizen.”
