Debate on Controversial National Commission of Minorities in Pakistan
(Lok Lhar Punjabi Show)
PTI government made a National Commission on Minorities yet Civil Society and Minority Rights activists rejected it. Listen the Lok Lhar Punjabi show recorded at MastFM103 Lhore Studio 15th May 2020.
Guests: Peter Jacob ( Centre for Social Justice) Naumana Suleman ( Minority Rights Group International) Tahira Habib (HRCP) and Dr Yaqoob Bangash
It is an interesting fact that a US policy institution has released its 2020
UNCIRF Report in which it was reminded that Pakistan did not form National Minority Commission yet and along with criticism it is also mentioned that Supreme Court of Pakistan also instructed it so. After few days, PTI government had formed the said commission. In the smart move, PTI government launched an unnecessary debate so no one could check them properly. In spite of this human right activists,media as well as minority rights activists are raising their voices against the commission. Playing with minorities is an old fashion tactics and its major example in our political history was tricky Lucknow Pact of 1916 that promoted communalism by & large. Now you listen the debate
