Christian Community's Role in Pakistan's Development and Patriotism
The Christian community has played an important role in Pakistan’s development and demonstrated its patriotism. This was stated by MNA Sheikh Aftab Ahmed, a member of the Supreme Judicial Commission, during a ceremony in Attock.
Addressing the event, Sheikh Aftab highlighted the community's active participation in the struggle for Pakistan's creation as per Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's call. He also emphasized their continuous contribution to the country's progress across various sectors.
Aftab noted that minorities in Pakistan enjoy constitutional and legal protection, including equal citizenship rights. He mentioned that people from other religions, such as the Sikh community, freely practice their faith in Pakistan, with thousands visiting gurdwaras across the country.
The ceremony marked the laying of the foundation stone for electricity provision to 500 homes and a transformer installation in Maryam Colony at a cost of Rs34 million, fulfilling Aftab's commitment to the colony's residents.
