Faisalabad : March 7, 2011. (PCP) HRFP organized a protest rally against the brutal assassination of the federal minister for minorities’ affairs Mr. Shahbaz Bhatti. People from different walks of life participated in this rally; the hundreds men, women and children protested against this inhuman act. At this occasion speeches against the fundamentalisms and extremism were made. The causes behind the assassination of Mr. Shahbaz Bhatti were his struggle against the discriminatory laws, blasphemy laws, and his strong stand for helping Ms Asia bibi, who is behind the bars under this law. Shahbaz Bhatti was receiving threats from the extremists since he aimed to help Asia bibi and other victims of blasphemy laws. In spite of these threats he showed bravery and confidence as a result he has to lay his life for this cause. His murder is a threat to the minorities and the human activists who are struggling for the repeal of this law since a pamphlet was found at the spot where Mr. Shahbaz Bhatti was murdered. That pamphlet was a religious degree to murder the Shahbaz Bhatti from the fundamentalists and militants group called Tehreek e Taliban. On this occasion the other speakers and Naveed Walter President of Human Rights Focus Pakistan condemned the assassination of Shahbaz Bhatti . Mr. Naveed Walter said “the mission of Shahbaz Bhatti will remain continued. Shahbaz Bhatti was a follower of the great Quaid Muhammad Ali Jinnah (the founder of Pakistan ) who uses to say that religion is a personal matter but we all belong to Pakistan . He wanted to establish a secular Pakistan , a real vision of Muhammad Ali Jinnah”. Naveed Walter said “We will also lay our lives for this cause. Pakistan is our Country and we wish to see it as a progressive country. Now we will find different strategies to promote the culture of peace and harmony and for the total repeal of these laws.” He added more.
