Church team meets Afridi

Islamabad :Minister for Narcotics Control & SAFRON Shehryar Khan Afridi Friday urged the Christian scholars to raise their voice for eight million Kashmiris who have been caged in the biggest human prison ever by India’s fascist regime, says a press release.

These views were expressed by Shehryar Afridi during a meeting with a delegation from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints who called on the minister here. Peter F Merus, Asia President, Bradley R Hansen, Mission President and Imran Shaukat, President Pakistan were part of the delegation.

Shehryar Afridi said that the Christian leadership needs to build pressure over the Modi government to lift siege in Kashmir where around one million Indian security officials were committing worst crimes against humanity. He said that it is unfortunate to note that the United Nations has failed to take action against India over recovery of mass graves in Indian Occupied Kashmir and unfortunately no practical steps have been taken by the world to investigate the crimes against humanity by Indian army which is tantamount to giving Indian army a license to kill Kashmiris.

He said Pakistan under Prime Minister Imran Khan’s vision, the federal government ensures equal rights for minorities in Pakistan and the government had implemented the court verdict in Asiya Bibi case in the same spirit. He said that minorities enjoy equal rights and opportunities in our society.

Shehryar Afridi said that serving humanity is a noble cause and the government is implementing this model religiously. He said that missionary schools have rendered laudable services in Pakistan and he himself had been transformed by missionary schools.
