When Pakistani leaders were trying to show solidarity with one of their community, better termed as minority in their country, Twitterati agreed not to go along with them. According to people the Hindu community is suffering in Pakistan and so wishing them specifically on their own religious occasion is just not the only way to spread peace and harmony.
Here are some comments, which clearly shows how offended they are with Pakistan PM Imran Khan’s specific wish for the Hindu community only.

Holi is a festival of colours
Which is message of brotherhood across religion or community.@ImranKhanPTI this tweet of yours is in bad taste.
We can't hope a sport person turned politician will divide community as Hindu or Muslims
