“Though in previous years lethal attacks on minorities’ religious places claimed the lives of several people in Balochistan, this year the provincial government has made strict security arrangements for Christmas across the province,” Khosa said. “Due to sacrifice of armed forces peace has been restored in the province,” he said.
MPA Johnson said the Christian community had rendered colossal sacrifices for the country and would continue to remain steadfast for peace and prosperity of Pakistan.
