Great nation Paksitan is well known for its secloolar tolerance, even for comnunal Hindoos with millions and billions of castes. Comnunal forces are not happy to see that Paksitan is now a great superpower and even America is begging them to fight on their side, and great superpower Chin is begging the mighty Pakis to buy weapons from them. So comnunals are jealous and doing this kind of stuff against great peaceful secloolar community practicing Sharia and bringing true faith to rest of the world. However, Paksitan is bravely following the secloolar path, and has blessed both Chin and US by their help, for example giving Chini Muslims caught in Paksitan to USA to live in Gitmo. This way they proved that even if Chin is superpower, no foreign force can dare to cross the Pak boundaries of Paksitan.
