First Hindu member in 16 years in Pakistan's Punjab assembly

[Ayush]

no law for marriage registration??

 

[SBD-3]

They have good population in Punjab and Sindh. They need to assert their powers through vote.

But they are not enough for a go at the general seat. Its a good strategy to keep minorities involved in legislature.

Its BS news......they day they reserve

25-35% of seats for hindus-sikhs-christians

ect then we have something.
Having a token "hindu" in govt is pointless.......give the minority's proper power.

it can be enhanced w.r.t their population proportion (say twice than their actual representation (at 6-7%)) but 25-35% is illogical

As far as I know Peshawar is the better in religious harmony

Were they not demanding Zaziya in the tribal regions from the Sikhs?

Better is only relative here.

 

[INDIC]

You were saying?

Show me where.

 

[Yeti]

Are Hindus allowed to vote for whom they want now in Pakistan? before they were only allowed to vote for a Hindu candidate

 

[jetti]

25-35% to heretics when they aren't even 5% of the population? Next, we'll be asked to give 30% of seats to Ahmedis and Shias

if kafirs of Pak can become PM why not hindus ?

I never heard that before. Everyone in Pakistan, regardless of their religion, can vote for whomever they want. I know a lot of non-Muslims who voted for Imran Khan or whoever they liked.

It was from a article I read from a Pakistani guy

The first one was promulgated under the 1973 constitution which made Islam the state religion of Pakistan and established a separate electorate for Muslims and non-Muslims so that Hindus could only vote for Hindu candidates. Musharraf abolished this in 2002.


Mushy got rid of it though

This was also the league demand before partition.

Something that the congress rejected as regressive.

No wonder they may have implemented it in Pakistan.

Yes, But Peshawar is a city which is between Afgahistan, Turkic and India from the ancient times on wards, People are some what tolerant to multiple cultures and religions.

You can see today Hindu temples, Bhuddist ruins and museums related to its past.

If you go to Punjab or Sindh where these fuedals mostly migrated from India showed some animosity towards Hindus ,( may be because of partition incidents or due to their hatred), you will find that kind of mentality less in Peshawar.

It is used to be called Purushapura in the past and gradually changed to Peshawar.

some examples

Minority rights: To promote interfaith harmony, Peshawar gets a peace committee – The Express Tribune

Multi-tongued: Peshawar

A temple in Peshawar reopens for the first time since 1947: Shabbir Imam | Kafila

Srinivas the Hindu temple in Peshawar was attacked there in recent times and 2 Sikhs were kidnapped and beheaded from there, it is not a safe city anymore. You can see so many bomb blasts in recent years in that city.
