In particular, no one oppresses Muslims in the country, Davlatzoda noted.

"Have you yourself witnessed a situation where the rights of believers were violated, including Muslims? Nobody complained to me personally," the head of the committee said.

At the same time, Davlatzoda stressed that anyone who doubts this can come to the Ismaili center and ask the parishioners about their religious life in Tajikistan.

In addition, he called false reports that the country is refusing to register a Protestant church. The committee did not record the relevant statements.
