If you are a conscientious Pakistani, or if you don’t live under a rock, it is hard to ever forget or ignore the kind of infuriating discrimination and shameful persecution that members of the Ahmadiyya community suffer in our country.
You console yourself by thinking, “at least I personally don’t discriminate or persecute”.
And, if you’re outspoken, you think, “I won’t and don’t ever let it happen in front of me”.
But then, there is a point in time when you are forced by the lottery of birth, and the Constitution of Pakistan, to become party to the state-sponsored discrimination of Ahmadis.
This is the time when you go to perform a simple act of citizenship: get or renew a passport.
My hands shook as I forced myself to go through a motion that would go against every belief I dearly hold, every fibre of my being.
Well said. If all started thinking like you and refuse to sign this statement things can move. But its a fantasy and has nothing to do with current hard facts on ground. However time will come when historians will highlight this blunder of Pakistani nation.

Well, historians (especially in Pakistan) see their history ‘as they want to see it’. Therefore I am not really optimistic. Young Pakistanis for instance hardly know who Sir Mohammad Zafrullah Khan was . (stimmts oder hab ich recht?)
