KHUSHAB:
A group of Christian residents in Khushab have been observing a hunger strike outside the district coordination officer’s house for three days to protest for a job quota.
Members of the Christian community said that they had a reserved quota of five percent approved by the government but the local administration was not fulfilling this.
“We are completely ignored when it comes to jobs in the population ministry or Education Department and there isn’t a single Christian in the entire district police force,” said Khushab tehsil council member William Naz.
“This is atrocious. We are Pakistanis too and we are being marginalised and cheated out of what the government has actually allotted us” he said.
In my opinion the government must take positive immediate action in favor of these minorities because they are also part of Pakistan, we cant degrade them like this. Minorities are allotted quota of 5% and they also had qualifications for the jobs but still they are denied. By ignoring minorities, you are giving space to the foreign powers to take advantage of their grievances, on other hand Pakistanis have objection that they are not treated well in other countries or so. Govt. have to take positive action for minorities. Because minorities are also the part of Pakistan. Don’t ignore them.
