Nazir Bhatti said “Shahbaz Bhatti is not elected representative of Pakistani Christians but selected and imposed on Christians by Pakistan Peoples Party PPP” “Shahbaz Bhatti vowed to repeal blasphemy laws when he was awarded by US Commission on International Religious Freedom but now he is speaking their master’s voice in Pakistan government and Pakistan Peoples Party” added Nazir Bhatti “US and EU can not end terrorism in South Asia until Article 2 of Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan is amended and blasphemy law is repealed because its is root cause of religious extremism and protecting terrorist in Pakistan” said Nazir Bhatti Shahbaz Bhatti, Federal Minister for Minorities, have failed to protect Christians who have been targeted in Pakistan nor he have brought culprits to justice but distributed cash to Christian victims and protected Muslim attackers who burnt alive Christians, destroyed hundreds of homes and churches.
