Passport represents state not religion: Bhindar
| The turbans have decided that Pakland's passports have to show people's religion. That way, when planes are hijacked or large numbers of people taken hostage, they can be sorted out and the non-Moose limbs bumped off in an orderly manner. |
A passport represents the identity of a person's state not religion, said Chaudhry Shahid Akram Bhindar, the state minister for Law, Justice and Human Rights, while addressing a seminar on human rights on Tuesday. The seminar 'Role of the government in promotion and protection of human rights (HR) in the country' was arranged by the regional directorate of Human Rights (Punjab) under the Federal Ministry of Law, Justice and Human Rights. Mr Bhindar said that religious parties were forcing the government to add a religion column in the new machine-readable passports. He said that it was technically not possible, adding that the state should not discriminate citizens on religion.
