and 28% of the population in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).
After Pakistan gained independence from the British Raj, 4.7 million of West Pakistan's Hindus and Sikhs moved to India as refugees.

Today, Hindus account for 2.14% of (West) Pakistan's population or 4.44 million people according to the 2017 Pakistan Census, although the Pakistan Hindu Council claims there are around more than 8 million in Pakistan.

The above verifiable statistics are only to disprove the misinformation as far as numbers are concerned.
