New Delhi: A Twitter spat started between the Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Pakistan's Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry over the issue of reported abduction of two teenaged Hindu girls who were being forced for conversation into Islam and get married, on the eve of Holi in Sindh province.

The war of words erupted between the two senior ministers after the EAM Sushma Swaraj asked the Indian High Commission in Pakistan to submit a report of this issue. Responding over her tweet, Pakistan's Information Minister called the matter as an "internal issue" and said, "It is not Modi's India where minorities are subjugated. It's Imran Khan's Naya Pak where white color of our flag is equally dearer to us. I hope you'll act with same diligence when it comes to rights of Indian minorities."

Replying to Chaudhary's tweet, Swaraj said, "Mr Minister, I only asked for a report from Indian High Commissioner in Islamabad about the kidnapping and forced conversion of two minor Hindu girls to Islam. This was enough to make you jittery. This only shows your guilty conscience."
