Govt has no plan to protect minorities: Gill

ISLAMABAD - Former Minister Akram Masih Gill while strongly condemning the brutal murder of Christian couple in Kot Radha Kishan, Kasur has said that the government has no plan to provide security to minorities and surge in such barbaric acts has created panic among the minorities across the country.
In a statement issued here on Sunday, Akram Masih said that misuse of blasphemy laws resulted to fulfil personal enmities under the cover of Religion, which he said must be discouraged by whole peace loving society of Pakistan.
“It is on record that no minority member has, so far, proved to be guilty who was charged under the blasphemy laws”, he said, while urging that government and civil society should play active role in this regard. He was of the view that due to unfavorable conditions in Pakistan, a large number of minorities were forced to migrate to other countries, including Thailand, Sri Lanka and India, which he termed as not a positive sign for Pakistan.
