minority members are also honourable for all pakistanies bcz they are also citizon of pakistan like other muslim pakistani's when they obey the rolles regulation and laws of this country. It is mostly seen that they respect the law more better than other pakistani's and are more sencere than others with their country, love their country, work hard for their country and always keep good wisher for their beloved country. So, this is their natural moral and leagal right to be given chance to participate in the government and share all problems faced to the nation. this is our Quid's saying there will be no difference between black and white, muslim and non muslim and majority or minority. Islam is also giving us the message to respect each other love all the human being and live with love with all our fellos, friends neighbours and all the world. The problem begins, when others create problems for muslims in their contries and as a natural re-action sometime temporatue goes up and unwanted occorence happens. We all pakistani's dislike and discourage such happenigs whether in Pakistan or outside Pakistan.
