(PCP) A 14th Death Anniversary Meeting under the auspices of All Pakistan Minorities Alliance, Karachi Division was convened at Awami Church, Essa Nagri to condole and remember the great sacrifice by Bishop of Faisalabad John Joseph. On this occasion Mr. Saleem Khursheed Khokhar, President, All Pakistan Minorities Alliance Sindh, Member of Provincial Assembly Sindh & Chairman Standing Committee on Minorities Affairs Sindh said that in Pakistan particularly Christian Religious Minorities are targeted and falsely accused in Blasphemy Law by the Muslim community only to settled their personal scores and under the garb of this blasphemy law they easily take control and occupy the valuable properties of the Christians. This black blasphemy law had been used in the name of religion and so far the Christian youth have been martyred and brutally killed by the members of the extremists.
