On being minority in Pakistan
The government believes in social justice, equality and humanity. It wants to offer democratic choice to all. We did not have a democratic regime for many years and therefore we had problems. The present government believes in the concept of Islam that guarantees the rights of the minorities. The present government has taken steps that is not only historic but ensures protection of minorities. For the first time, this ministry has been created separate from the ministry of religious affairs. For the first time, two members of the Hindu community in the National Assembly have won on the general seats.
On blasphemy law and legislations
We are changing laws to ensure proper registration of marriages for Hindus and Christians. The blasphemy law is being reviewed. The changes will ensure it is not be misused to harass minorities. We are also bringing in a minority protection bill. We are consulting political parties and community leaders for inputs. In the blasphemy law, we have decided that before the registration of FIR, there will be a thorough inquiry. Also, if somebody levels a false accusation, the complainant will be charged with perjury.
On minorities being targeted by Taliban
The atrocities on minority communities should not be taken in isolation. This is a mindset we are fighting against. This mindset has killed more fellow Muslims than minorities. Government has taken action against such people. We are sorry one of our Sikh brothers got killed, but we managed to free several of them.
On innovative steps taken by the ministry
We have launched a campaign for interfaith harmony. It is one of its kinds in the world. We have planned to establish Interfaith Harmony Committee in all the 127 districts of the country. Each committee will comprise 24 members, 12 each from Muslim and non-Muslim community. We are also planning to launch a 24 hours helpline for minorities.
