Christians rally to seek security | |
2013-03-12 | |
[Dawn] Members of Christian community staged a protest demonstration here on Sunday to condemn the torching of over hundred houses of Christians by a mob in Badami Bagh, Lahore. They demanded of the chief justice of Pakistain to take suo motu ...a legal term, from the Latin. Roughly translated it means I saw what you did, you bastard... notice of the incident. The protesters gathered in Kohati area and after marching through different roads held a protest rally near Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. Press Club. They blocked the Sher Shah Suri Road for some time and rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud against the Punjab government and police for their failure to protect the properties of Christian community. The protesters were led by Anjum Gil, Yousuf George and Javed Piyara. Speaking on the occasion, the speakers demanded of the government to provide security to minorities as they were also citizens of Pakistain.
The community elders said that all religions preached love and humanity while some anti-state elements had been spreading unrest among Christians. | |
