16th September 2009 His Excellency, Mr. Asif Ali Zardari, The President of Islamic Republic Of Pakistan. President House, Islamabad. Subject:- The Future of Christian Community in Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Your Excellency, I need not remind you the “Hate Crimes” that have been committed against the Christians livening in “Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Only in year 2009, in village Kot Lakha Sing District Narowal, Bahmini Wala District Qasoor, Korain District Toba Tek Singh, Gojra District Toba Tek Sing in Punjab and Kotri in Sindh have shaken the Christian community of Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Now a young boy has been killed while in Police custody on false and fabricated accusation under Section 295-B of Pakistan Penal Code. Your Excellency, most humbly, may I ask, how many more villages will be burned by the majority community of Pakistan. How many more churches will be set ablaze, how many Holy Bibles will be desecrated and how many more innocent Christian men women and young boys will die before the government of Islamic Republic of Pakistan will start trying to think a solution to the problems of Christians of Pakistan? We have never violated Section 295-B or 295-C of Pakistan Penal Code, yet to Avenge personal dispute with Christians, the Muslim majority, accuse our people of Desecration of Holy Quran and without any investigation our houses are destroyed by fire our churches are burnt, the Holy Bibles are desecrated and “Death Sentences is announced and innocent people are executed and the Law Enforcing Agencies and the Local Administration joins the “Hate Traders”. Your Excellency, this routine practice of the Majority community must be stopped at some point. The “Hate Traders” have to be punished and the safety has to be provided to the Christian citizens of Pakistan (If they are citizens of Pakistan and not “Subjects”). I request you, Your Excellency to take all necessary measures to ensure our legal and constitutional Rights to exist in Islamic Republic of Pakistan. If long term protection can not be provided to Pakistani Christian Citizens, then it would be better to shoot them, so they can get rid of the miseries, fear and sudden unprovoked anger of Muslims and death and destruction that follows. I thank you in anticipation, Your Excellency, with hope of safer future of Christian Citizens of Pakistan. Very Faithfully Yours, Bishop Timotheus Nasir.
