It's strange to note that Resolution passed in 1949 was never endorsed as part of constitution till 1985. The Objective Resolution was declared to be part of constitution by the Martial Law government of Zia Ul Haq. The need of this doctrine was not seemed essential for decades but Military rulers used this as weapon to prolong their rule in Pakistan. This Resolution created divisions among the citizens of Pakistan and led the peaceful Pakistani Society on way to aparthied. The said Resolution was the root cause to evolve the fundamentalism factor among the Muslin majority which emerged as terror in Pakistan.

We appeal to the Christian members of Parliament to raise voice against this Objective Resolution, as this Article 2 (A) of the constitution is contrary to the fundamental rights guaranteed in the same Constitution.

Here are the contents of the Objective Resolution for our readers.
