The founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, while addressing the first Legislative Assembly on August 11, 1947, had said regarding minorities that no matter what religion, creed, color or race you belong to, the state has no business with it and you will be equal citizens in Pakistan. In the backdrop of this historic speech by the Quaid-e-Azam, in 2009, the government of Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, on the invocation of Shaheed Shahbaz Bhatti, designated this day as Minority Day through a notification.And thus, minorities were cut off from the international mainstream because the United Nations has designated December 18 as Minority Day since 1992, and on this day, celebrations are held all over the world, including in UN offices, regarding minorities. In which not only their problems are highlighted but also steps are suggested to solve them. Reports are presented on this from all over the world. Pakistan is the only country in the world where a separate date is set for Minorities Day. If the reason for this is Quaid-e-Azam's historic speech on August 11, then what was said in that speech has been kept in mind? In my opinion, the status of Minority Day is nothing more than a symbolic day, nor are minorities interested in celeb Day, while all nationalist Christian parties in Pakistan celebrate it as a Day of Protest and Black Day.

Protests are held in major cities across the country forating it.  For the past 16 years, only a few scattered associates of Shahbaz Bhatti have been celebrating a separate Minority day the rights of minorities and against the atrocities committed against them. Christian leaders will hold press conferences in Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi and other cities regarding the recent Minority Day. Will protests be held?  The right to protest for one's demands on Minority Day is also being taken away.  On August 11 this year, several Christian organizations have announced a minority rights march outside the Islamabad Press Club, and the President of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Rawalpindi has formally written to the Deputy Commissioner Islamabad to stop the march. Not only this, but the leaders of the Movement for the Protection of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) have formally announced in their meeting that wherever this march is held, protests will be held against it. The above situation can certainly lead to an unpleasant incident and undoubtedly its aim is to prevent minorities from protestiing the minority rightsng for their rights by stopp march. Of course, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's Pakistan cannot tolerate this kind of religious intolerance and this is also a negation of Quaid-e-Azam's historic speech, in view of which August 11 has been declared as the National Minorities Day.  There is a clear role of minorities in the establishment of Pakistan, which was for a secular Pakistan, but this role of minorities was limited in 1949 under a  resolution and Pakistan was left at the mercy of those religious powers who were opposed to the establishment of Pakistan itself. Due to which, today Pakistan is facing serious problems like insecurity, religious prejudice, political inequality, oppression, injustice, discriminatory laws and religious extremism. It is facing serious problems like forced marriage and religious conversion.People are burned alive on the mere charge of blasphemy, dozens of churches and hundreds of houses are destroyed, but no one is punished. On such occasions, the police remain silent spectators. Later, due to poor investigation, the accused are given relief. The scales of justice are also tilted and the accused easily escape the clutches of the law.  Due to which, a new tragedy occurs after a few years. In a short period of one year, the Jaranwala tragedy was followed by the Sargodha tragedy. The accused in both the incidents have been released.  In a country where our honor, our property, our rights are not protected throughout the year, the aim is to send a message to the international community by celebrating a day for minorities that minorities are safe in Pakistan and have equal rights  Undoubtedly, it is important for minorities to declare this day as a day of protest and express their sorrow and suffering at the international level.  Socially boycott all religious leaders who, by being part of official events held on this occasion, arrange photo sessions to tell the international community that minorities are safe here.  Christian organizations should make it clear during their protests that the job of religious leadership is to educate people spiritually and not to go to state-related forums to resolve the political and social problems of minorities, nor should they represent them in such places.  Finally, let me also clarify that only a few Christian leaders are excited about celebrating Minority Day. In comparison, other minorities, including Hindus, Sikhs and Parsis, who are more secure and privileged than us in every way and who enjoy special privileges from the government, have never celebrated Minority day
