Welcoming the delegation, Ch Shujaat Hussain said his party will continue safeguarding the religious, social and economic rights of all minority Pakistan brethren like in the past.

Ch Shujaat added besides giving the right of double vote to the minorities in the elections, PML-Q fixed quota for them in jobs. Chairman Albert David said seats for non-Muslims in National and Provincial Assemblies be increased, out of women reserved seats five per cents be fixed for the minorities and Federal Ministry for Minority Affairs be restored.
