All sects enjoying equal rights in Pakistan: Qadri

Author: APP

Federal Minister for Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony Dr Pir Muhammad Noor-ul-Haq Qadri Sunday said that all the minorities were enjoying equal right across the country and no one would be allowed to propagate against the nation under the cover of minorities’ rights. There is full religious freedom in Pakistan and every citizen has the right to live without any fear and terror, he added. He expressed these views while addressing an interfaith reconciliation conference organised by the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Peshawar as a special guest. The event was attended by a large number of religious leaders and youth of all faiths. Dr Pir Muhammad Noor-ul-Haq Qadri said that according to the vision of Prime Minister Imran Khan, he played role of a bridge among all sects and religions, adding, by the grace of the Almighty, the distances among them have turned into good relationship. The minority communities were satisfied with measures taken by the government such as reconstruction of their worship places, scholarships for children, dowry for girls and increase in minority quota in jobs. “Our government has built Kartarpur, the largest center of the Sikh religion, and exempted Sikh pilgrims from India and around the world from visa restrictions so that Sikh pilgrims could come to Kartarpur to perform their religious rituals,” he added.
