Minorities attacked

Minorities don't seem to have it any better under the new government dispensation despite the commonly held view that the current government lead by the PPP courts most of their votes.

The attacks on Christian communities in the outlying areas of the Punjab reveals the breakdown in the government's ability to grapple with criminals using religious motivations to secure land and/or money. The police show their incompetence in the face of religious bigotry espoused by some Muslims and no one really seems to want to take these cases through the courts of law.

I hope at some point the PPP or other parties who have sincere concerns about the minority groups in Pakistan gain the courage to eradicate the source of the problem - that being the laws that favor the majority at the expense of the minority.
