Ex-servicemen provide security to churches
2013-10-01
[Dawn] Shemon Masih on Sunday went to the Our Lady of Fatima Church in Sector F-8/4 and was surprised to see the enhanced security arrangements there.

Along the officials of the church, four armed guards were checking every person entering the building. Soon, he came to know that the new guards were former armymen and had been deputed in the church by the Pakistain Ex-Servicemen Association (PESA).

This is not the only church being guarded by the former army officials.

In Islamabad, PESA also arranged security for the Catholic Cathedral and St. Thomas Church.

In Rawalpindi, the association deployed security guards at the St. Joseph's Cathedral, Christ Church and St. John Church.

PESA said it had also arranged bulletproof CIT (cash-in-transit) armoured vehicles to the churches for the security of their priests.

#2  Good update, Gomez Borgia1808. Thank you. Not surprising that no one was convicted, though, given that even high ranking government officials can be murdered merely for expressing support for beleaguered kuffir.

#1  Some things missing off the Dawn article that may be worth noting :

This was agreed during a meeting with Lt Gen Ali Kuli Khan in the chair.
Vice Admiral Ahmad Tasnim, Lt Gen Naeem Akbar, former ambassador Salim Nawaz Gandapur, Brig Mian Mahmud, Brig Riaz Ahmed, Brig Masud ul Hassan, Major Farouk Hamid Khan, and others were also present in the meeting.

Pretty positive , but I'm tired of hearing Pakistan's smokescreens . They did note , however , it is very sad reflection upon the administration that no one responsible for Gojra massacre or Badami Bagh looting and arson of Christian property has been convicted so far
