Pak to review laws biased against minorities

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday said his government will review all laws that ‘militate against’ Pakistan’s minority communities, weeks after gunmen shot dead two Christians accused of blasphemy outside a court in Punjab Province.

Besides creating a five per cent quota for minorities in government jobs and reserving four for them in the Senate or upper house of parliament, the government has “decided to review all laws that militate against minorities and the vulnerable sections of society,” Zardari said in a message on the occasion of Pakistan’s Minorities Day.
