Philadelphia: October 20, 2013. (PCP) Dr. Nazir S Bhatti, President of Pakistan Christian Congress PCC in a letter to US President Barak Obama have appealed to raise issues of safety and security of Christians in Pakistan, to stop misuse of blasphemy laws against religious communities in Pakistan and to restore democratic election process on reserved seats for minorities in parliament instead of un-democratic selection system in a meeting with Prime Minister of Pakistan Mian Nawaz Sharif on October 23, 2013, as such issues undermine true spirit of human right and democracy in Pakistan. “PCC urges US to condition all civil and military aid to Pakistan with human rights, religious freedom and social justice” said Nazir Bhatti PCC Chief added “The Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz Group PML (N) which is ruling over a decade in Punjab province of Pakistan where Christian are second biggest population have failed to protect life and property of millions of Christian who have been targeted on pretext to blasphemy laws and culprits are never brought to justice” There was suicide attack on All Saints Church Peshawar where 113 Christian worshipers were killed and more than 150 injured on September 22, 2013, but no federal or provincial compensation promised is paid not injured are provided with adequate medical assistance. Nazir Bhatti said “Selection system adopted by Pakistan to fill on reserved seats of Minorities and Women is un-democratic and contrary to Article 226 of constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan and requires restoration of election system in which Christian, Hindus, Sikhs and Ahamdiyyia Muslims may elect their representation with their votes” The Pakistan Christian Post PCP will release contents of letter of Dr. Nazir S Bhatti to President Obama tomorrow.
