Then in the end he thanked everyone who attended the Black day protest. Meanwhile, Pastor Fraz Siddique, told PCP today “It is astonished that after the attack on the Christian in Bahmaniwala, Korian and Gojra, some offices such as Nadra and Social Security Faisalabad has started harassing the Christians by not accepting the Marriage and Birth Certificates even issued from the office of a Bishop” Pastor Fraz said “After these incidents, such behavior has developed even in the minds of such people. Up to now the documents have been accepted, please let us know other reasons for creating hindrances. The Nazim and Secretary or Union council do not have the record of our marriage etc” “These departments also know that but it is being done delicately to harass the Christians” added Pastor Fraz We request to President, Prime Ministry, and Chief Minister of Pakistan Please help us to understand ‘’What should we do?’’
