We should focus our attention on
the Minorities Rights in Pakistan as rights of common people are violated in
general while Minorities Rights are violated in particular. Blasphemy law in
Pakistan is misused and is often used against Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, and
other Minorities and the recent example is before our eyes where in Qasur
Punjab a wife and her spouse were burnt alive by charged mob over the
allegations of a brick kiln owner who had a monetary issue with the couples but
used blasphemy law against the couples and were burnt alive which is a sorry
state of affairs. Similarly Salman Taseer a former Governor of Punjab was
murdered over the same allegations. These views were expressed by Zar Ali Khan
Afridi during a seminar in Peshawar over the rights of Minorities in Pakistan.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah who is known as father of Pakistan stated to constituent
Assembly on 11th of August, 1947 that all citizens are equal and
have equal rights irrespective of any religion any one belongs to. But today we
have forgotten it and gave state in mouth of monsters who have their own
interpretation of religion. Minorities
in FATA have also so many issues like issue of domiciles, CNICs, residence,
graveyards and job quata. Said Zar Ali Khan Afridi today.
