PM vows to ensure equal treatment for minorities

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday reiterated his government’s resolve to ensure that the minorities are treated as equal citizens in the country.

Taking to twitter to shine light on the father of the nation’s struggle and vision on the occasion of his 142^nd birthday, the premier said: “His struggle for a separate nation for Muslims only started when he realised that Muslims would not be treated as equal citizens by the Hindu majority.”

“Naya Pak is Quaid’s Pak & we will ensure that our minorities are treated as equal citizens, unlike what is happening in India,” he said.

He said in another tweet: “Quaid envisaged Pakistan as a democratic, just and compassionate nation. Most importantly he wanted our minorities to be equal citizens. It should be remembered that his early political career was as an ambassador for Hindu Muslim unity.”
