Chairman of Moderates, Syed Jawaid Iqbal has strongly condemned the impediments, unnecessarily created for the Sikh community in Lahore that was barred from performing their religious rites in their Gurdwara.
Talking about this issue Jawaid said, "This kind of action directly negates the ideology of Pakistan where all religious minorities have an equal right to freely perform their religious rituals, without any distinctions."
In Jinnah's Pakistan, Jawaid said, "it is disturbing to see that intolerance and bigotry is on the rise. While once harmonious coexistence between all religious factions was a way of life in Pakistan, it has now turned into a web of hate, leading to the destruction of peace and harmony."
He reminded the people of Pakistan of the Quaid's famous address to the members of the Pakistan Constituent Assembly, on August 11, 1947, "You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place of worship in this State of Pakistan. -PR
