While I recognise that the state of Pakistan is inundated by a number of issues, with terrorism topping the list, I feel that it is incumbent upon me to bring to the notice of our rulers — especially the prime minister — the dilemmas faced by the minorities of Pakistan and the failure of successive governments to protect their legitimate and constitutional rights. Since the inception of Pakistan, minorities, though having played a vital role in the progress of the country, have never been treated as its true components. Numerous issues regarding their rights have been discussed many a time on the floor of parliament but to no avail. Tangible actions must be taken for the minorities so as to officially acknowledge them as citizens of the country — equal to any other and as secure.
