Islamabad: December 9, 2015. (PCP) Convener World Minorities Alliance Mr. J Salik held a convention today for minorities’ reservations in Local bodies’ elections in front of National Press Club, Islamabad. Many Christian children, old and young people participated in convention. On the occasion Mr. J Salik said addressed and said that this method of election need to be improved because in every constituency Muslims also cast their votes to minority leaders and Muslims are in majority so the representation will not be minority’s representation. Now the elected members are not minorities’ representation because only minorities’ should have the right to choose their representatives but in local bodies’ election majority also use the right to cast their votes on minority seat, so the elected members are not purely minorities’ representation. This method of election is wrong and it is a great injustice with minorities so it should be declared null and void. He said that PML N Leader Ch. Nisar Ali Khan addressed to media in front of main door of Parliament House on 9th Feb., 2013 as an opposition leader replying the question of a famous journalist Khizar Kalasara, he said “method of election on minority seats is not correct, I personally agreed with J Salik’s point of view, minorities should have the right to choose their representatives, I will give my opinion in my party PML N in this regard” but now when there is PML N government and he is an interior minister, with lack of his attention we suffer a lot and the lose can’t be forgotten by the history. He said that present method of election is arranged by interior ministry with collaboration of Law ministry, then injustice with minorities… why? J Salik said that you might remember that CDA gave yellow uniforms to sanitary workers but we protest against CDA and forced to take the decision back because the yellow color is symbol of hate, In army camps yellow color flag is the sign of bathroom moreover the yellow color is considered as illness inspite of this the color of minorities’ ballot paper in local bodies’ election was yellow again which showed discrimination and prejudice with minorities’.
