International Minorities Alliance is organizing First Two Days International Minorities Conference on Dec 12 and 13 in Lahore, Pakistan

Lahore: December 10, 2009, (PCTV Newsdesk)

Leaders will discuss the situation of minorities in Pakistan and demand to the Government of Pakistan to repeal the discriminatory laws.

The slogan “first of all Pakistan” employs that all the people living in the country are Pakistanis without any consideration of color, race or religion and that all of them have equal human rights and are entitled to substantive citizenship as per the vision of country’s founding fathers.

The events of the last 63 years in Pakistan with reference to religious minorities have been very discouraging Unfortunately the minorities have not been given full political and civil rights in Pakistan and there are a number of basic issues and fundamental concerns that still need to be addressed., In Pakistan, the minorities have been reduced to the level of second rate citizens, discriminatory laws, selective criteria, social biases and prejudiced ideologies have made the existence of the minority communities most miserable ,there is great urge for democratic ,just,pluralist and tolerant society.

To discuss and deliberate the future of minorities in Pakistan, International Minorities Alliance (IMA) is organizing a First Two Days International Minorities Conference on December 12, 13 2009. We are expecting a whole Galaxy, of political leaders , social , human rights activists and prominent Minorities especially Christians leaders all over the globe,  to descend on Lahore for the conference.
