A very Short introduction of Pakistan Christian Congress, first convention was held in January 10, 1985 at Lahore. PCC is a voice of 20 Million Christians of Pakistan from every corner of Pakistan comprising members from all walks of life. Its manifesto includes six points (1) Equal Basic Democratic Rights (2) Representation Proportional to Population (3) Dual Voting (4) Opportunities for Youth (5) Religious Freedom and (6) Share in Power was approved by the PCC's Legal and Constitutional Committees. PCC is now restructuring and raising voice of Pakistani Christian.
For the last couple of decades, PCC is watching the Pakistani political critical situation, and had planned to jump in for the betterment of the Pakistani Christians. Coming to the point "Situation of Christians in Pakistan"
Christians are neglected despite their God gifted abilities and thrown to the last rows in every walk of life in Pakistan. During school days Christian students even not allowed drink water from the common tap and not allowed to touch food items of utensils in school. How the feelings of a child is while facing all these discriminations during daily life. Still Christian Children keep struggling and bring highest marks, but their result/Report Cards only marked with third position or lowest grades. Christian Students are not allowed to have admission in colleges despite completing all requirements and criteria only in religion column of the admission form mentioned "Christian". Behavior of classmates, Teachers and administrations the same as were in the past. Results are not different as was in the school. Still Christian students keep moving with all new hopes. Government announced the quota but it’s just on papers, it’s another hard practice to avail this so called quota, said Albert Khokher.
Situation of Pakistani Christian Women workers is also very pain full, no matter they are housemaids, Nurses, office workers or anywhere. There is sexual harassment and then there is force conversion. There are so many Christian women who has been facing for decades but only few were succeeded to get attention of International media but there are lot more who remained un reported being families were threatened to keep quiet to save further losses of their honor, properties and lives, added Khokher.
Talking about the discriminatory laws, he said, Blasphemy Laws of Pakistan is like living sword on Christians. Open and free misuse of blasphemy laws took many lives of innocent’s youth of Christians in Pakistan leaving behind their loves with everlasting tears. Dozens were taken into custody by the police and law enforcement agencies under blasphemy laws and are missing now, where they kept or move to which jail, nobody knows and on inquiry there is no one to reply where they are kept and weather living or dead. Hundreds are escaped only to save their life leaving behind everything.
Indeed this is terrible but it’s a fact that misuse of Blasphemy is increasing its circle day by day and situation is getting worse with every second. In past only male were accused of Blasphemy Laws but now Christian Women are also targeted being the weaker part of the society. Government of Pakistan, Law enforcement agencies and Judiciary of Pakistan looks like handicapped to handle lawfully and deal with true and fair justice. Because of Muslim religious associations and Muslim religious leaders and indeed they are Muslim too. They first prefer to keep themselves safe and than their religion. In this situation which door is to be knocked to ask justice and protection? Rinkle Kamari case is one of the examples decided in the apex court.
Electoral system in Pakistan for minorities is another problem. Minority members are selected not elected, there are two electoral system adopted at the moment in Pakistan, democratic and proportional. Majority members come through election but minority members are through proportional system. PCC demand election for minorities of Pakistan.
