Peshawar Mayor Haji Zubair Ali has said that the rights of all minorities have always been protected and respected and all problems of the Christian Colony and other minorities would also be solved on priority basis.
He said this while addressing the Christian community and local residents during an open court on Sunday.
The problems of Christian colonies would be resolved on priority basis and for this the local government has allocated special funds, he added.
“We have always protected and respected the rights of minorities. They are not less than brothers for us because they are equal citizens of Pakistan like the rest. I am sorry to hear about the problems of Subhanabad and Shaheedabad areas that no one has paid any attention to in the past, but as a mayor I will take every practical step to solve these problems as early as possible,” he observed.
Residents of these areas informed the Mayor about their problems like unscheduled load-shedding of power and gas.
