Author: APP

Secretary to Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Nadeem Aslam Chaudhry, has extended heartfelt greetings to all religious minorities, emphasizing their integral role in Pakistani nationalism.

He praised the significant contributions of minorities across various fields such as defense, education, health, and social services.

Referencing Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s historic speech, the Chief Secretary highlighted, “Pakistan’s identity is incomplete without its non-Muslim citizens, as symbolized by the white stripe in the national flag.”

He also pointed out Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to support minorities, including a 5 percent job quota in government positions and reserved seats in Parliament and provincial legislatures to ensure their active participation in political and economic spheres.
