Pakistan government failing on minorities, report says

[Shak_ed]

Pakistan's government is failing to protect the country's religious minorities, a new report says.

The rising tide of vigilante violence and extremism is threatening Christians, Hindus and Ahmedis, the report by the Jinnah Institute said.

The assassinations of two prominent advocates of minority rights this year had led to an atmosphere of fear and intimidation, it added.

The report warned extremists posed a serious threat to Pakistan's stability.

The 70-page report, entitled "A Question of Faith", was released on Tuesday by the Asian Human Rights Commission.

The Jinnah Institute think-tank is headed by the former information minister and a parliamentarian belonging to the governing Pakistan Peoples' Party, Sherry Rehman.

The report criticises President Zardari's government for backing off from repealing, or even discussing, the country's controversial blasphemy law.

It documents growing incidents of mob violence against minority groups and provides examples of abductions and forced conversions of minority women.

The report calls for repealing the country's controversial blasphemy law and urges the government to urgently undertake political and judicial reforms to ensure equality for Muslims and non-Muslim citizens of Pakistan.

They have been failing the minorities since the 70s. No big deal here. Even the constitution puts us as second class citizens.

yup its normal for any moaner to get the advice of leaving britain.
the notion is if you are here you should like it. if you dont like dont complain and do something. if you cant do anything shut up and live with it.
when moaning becomes above patriotism and people start hating the country due to common problems . they do become ddangerous for the country and shouldnt be there

i dont know what you are on about but if pakistan was such a discriminating country we wont have all.the business of our financial hub karachi run by bahai bohra and agha khanis who arent muslims.
we wont have indigenous americans sat on top of every big corporate business such ad Gillet. Treet.Liver brothers and such. There is no such law in europe but as you go towards the top.ranks of their gkvernments and sny large buisinesses you see less and less non europeans .
