Description
Summary:Pakistan is a country where people of different faiths live together. Predominantly it is a Muslim country and Christians are a tiny minority. Christians -and Muslims have been living together in this country since its inception in 1947 or rather even before it came into existence. We have just celebrated the 51 st birth day of our nation, Our forefathers worked jointly for Pakistan movement and its independence. We, as Christians, are putting our full contribution for the progress, prosperity and integrity of our beloved home land at all levels, be it social, religious or political. There have been ups and downs in our Christian-Muslim dialogue. We have seen many glorious events as well as sad. Sad because there are times when we, as Christians, feel that we are reduced to a status of second-class citizens because of some existing discriminatory laws. For example, there is a system Of separate electorates, minorities are not represented in the Senate, Christians do not hold even a single key post in the country. It is sad and a matter of grave concern.
