Increasing seats in Senate, National and Provincial Assemblies is inevitable for minorities Akmal Bhatti Chairman Minorities Alliance Pakistan
Farhatullah Babar, a senior leader of Pakistan People’s Party, has said that Article 25 of the Constitution gives the right to equality to fundamental human rights, on the one hand, the Constitution gives the right to equality to all, but on the other hand, this Constitution allows a non-Muslim to become the President and Prime Minister of Pakistan. It is a fraud on the constitution, attacks on the homes and places of worship of minorities have increased, it is the duty of the state to fulfill its responsibility, forced conversion and blasphemy laws.
Secondly, it is necessary to implement the 2018 report of the Senate in this regard, the establishment of Pakistan itself was a struggle of minorities because at that time Muslims were in the minority in the subcontinent, in the resolution of 1947 provincial autonomy and the protection of the rights of minorities were fundamental. There were points, the campaign for provincial autonomy continued to advance despite ups and downs and this demand was recognized through the Eighteenth Amendment, but unfortunately the protection of the rights of the minorities could not move forward and the protection of the rights of the minorities could not go in the right direction and no matter how many amendments The rights of minorities could not be protected in them, amendments are needed in these provisions of the constitution.
This is not an easy task. You cannot choose your own representative, so your voice does not reach the top. It has not been possible for the last nine years, this will make your voice effective, he expressed these views while addressing a seminar organized by Minorities Alliance Pakistan on the title of Constitution of Pakistan and Religious Minorities at National Press Club Islamabad.
