ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain asserted on Tuesday that safeguarding rights of minorities is among the top priorities of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government.
According to details, a statement issued by the Information Ministry to extend greetings to the Christian community celebrating Christmas, read, the Christians have played a great role in solidarity, development and prosperity of Pakistan.
The minister, in the statement, also commended the services of Christians brethren in the sector of health, education and others.
The statement added that the birth of Prophet Jesus Christ (AS) is beatitude for Muslims too and the constitution of Pakistan fully guarantees the protection of minorities.
Moreover, yesterday, Prime Minister Imran Khan also felicitated the Christians Community on Christmas and later today reiterated his government’s resolve to ensure that the minorities are treated as equal citizens in the country.
He said on Twitter: “Quaid envisaged Pakistan as a democratic, just and compassionate nation. Most importantly he wanted our minorities to be equal citizens. It should be remembered that his early political career was as an ambassador for Hindu Muslim unity.”
“Naya Pak is Quaid’s Pak & we will ensure that our minorities are treated as equal citizens, unlike what is happening in India,” he further wrote on Twitter.
