LAHORE:


A judicial commission headed by a High Court judge should be constituted to investigate the murder of Minister for Minorities Affairs Shahbaz Bhatti. This was demanded by the All Pakistan Minorities Alliance during a protest march from Nasser Bagh to Punjab Assembly on Sunday.


Speakers at the occasion expressed reservations about the current investigation of the incident.

They said the investigators instead of tracing the killers were twisting the facts to portray the murder in a different manner.

They paid tribute to Bhatti for raising his voice for minorities. They said the minorities in Pakistan would not let Bhatti’s sacrifice go to waste. They said had it not been for Bhatti, minorities would not have got a five per cent quota in government jobs and four seats in the Senate.

The rally ended at the Punjab Assembly after a prayer for the country’s safety, progress and an end of terrorism incidents.
