Courtesy Express Tribune: Pakistan Muslim League –Quaid (PML-Q) MPA Shahzad Elahi, speaking during the Punjab Assembly session on Friday, said the province had become a ‘living hell’ for minorities.
Elahi, who has been elected on a non-Muslim minority seat, said that the government of Punjab had made the demolition of churches its mission. He condemned the demolition of a 20 kanal portion of a church located in Garhi Shahu.
He said that the white on Pakistan’s flag gave minorities the right to live peacefully and speak for themselves.
The MPA said that the Bible had been desecrated during the demolition and the glasses of the church had also been smashed. The MPA termed January 10 “the darkest day in the history of Pakistan”, and said that Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah had also given surety that the rights and property of the minorities would be protected in the country.
Elahi was cut short by the speaker, who asked him to bring some written element to the house so that the issue could be taken up.
MINORTIES ALWAYS GRINDED BY MUSLIMS IN PAKISTAN.
Shahzad Ilahi must remember that the pole (dunda) is in the white part of the flag.
