Karachi:Pakistan People's Party (PPP) minority MPA Saleem
Khurshid Khokhar has complained about the injustice being meted out to religious minorities in the country. Khokhar claimed that the curriculum taught across schools
and colleges in Pakistan were creating a gulf between Muslim and non-Muslim students,
reports The Express Tribune. "Muslims have been given priority over non-Muslims
in school books? Why are people like Justice Dorab Patel, Captain Cecil Chaudhry
(who fought the 1965 and 1972 wars) and others who devoted their lives for the
cause of Pakistan not included in school books?" Khokhar questioned. Khokhar also
lamented that local government funds have not been spent in minority areas during
the last four years. He also cast doubts on the government's claims about empowering
women by giving land and plots to female peasants, and said that not a single
non-Muslim woman had become a beneficiary of the programme so far. "We are the
sons of this soil and have rendered sacrifices for this country. We want to know
why we are subjected to such kinds of discrimination," said Khokhar.
