According to the constitution of 1973 minorities was given full and free rights to practice there religion and worship . most importantly 1973 constitution gives the representation to the minorities in ASSEMBLIES on special seats for minorities and was given right to take part in elections and to vote .

Latter on it was amended by President Pervaiz Musharaf that they can also vote to general member and on the other hand they will vote there minority candidate on special , this gives the right of double vote the minorities.

Above mention was the constitutions of Pakistan and what they state about the minorities living in Pakistan , sadly those were only written laws and no practical implementation was done on the electorate process of minorities .



Rites of minorities have been abused by Taliban and Islamic Extremist and militants all over Pakistan

On April 20, residents of Taseer Town in Karachi woke up to find pro-Taliban messages chalked onto the walls of two churches. The messages included, "Long Live the Taliban," "Talibanization is our goal," and "Embrace Islam or Prepare to Die." The next day, the Christians residents staged a protest in the hopes of attracting the attention of the local government to provide protection. Officials, however, did nothing.

The night of the protest, April 21, more than 100 masked terrorists invaded Taseer Town with automatic rifles. The terrified Christian residents ran to their homes and locked themselves inside.

According to Asif Stephen, a Christian politician, one of the protesters said, "We were protesting peacefully and all of sudden, a few militants carrying the latest weapons rushed in. Some of the attackers entered homes and pillaged money and jewelry and abused the women and burned their properties. The elderly were injured and one child fell to the ground and died in my friend's arms."

The Taliban militants went door to door, breaking into Christian homes and dragging the elderly and the women out into the street by their hair. The Taliban leaders shouted, "You infidels have to convert to Islam or die. Why did you wash up warnings inscribed on walls of church and home doors? How dare you are to take out procession against Taliban?"

The terrorists sexually assaulted several women and physically abused dozens more with clubs, iron rods, and whips. They set a number of homes on fire. When two Christians resisted, the militants killed them execution-style directly in front of their families.

On the other hand Sikh families living in Orakzai Agency have left the agency after the Taliban demanded Rs 50 million as jizia (tax) from them, official sources and locals said on Tuesday.

Residents of Ferozekhel area in Lower Orakzai Agency told Daily Times on Tuesday that around 10 Sikh families left the agency after the demand by the Taliban, who said they were a minority and liable to pay the tax for living in the area in accordance with sharia.

Locals said the Taliban had notified the Sikh families about the ‘tax’ around a week ago. They said of the 15 Sikh families in Ferozekhel, 10 had shifted while the remaining were preparing to do so.

The locals said the families were impoverished and had left the area to avoid any Taliban action.

No other political parry have condemn these terrible and anti Islamic acts of these Taliban Animals other then MQM the third largest political party of Pakistan and have taken the clear step against them . while the other political parties have been very quiet and even judiciary is quiet over all these acts .

What is the reason for the silence of other political parties and leaders of Pakistan ?

Are they afraid of these animals and love there seats rather then country and peoples of Pakistan ?
