| [INUTH] Pakistain is not a country known to be kind toward its minorities. A US state department report in 2014 noted that mob violence against minority groups, and police torture of religious dissidents was prevalent across Pakistain. The country’s strict blasphemy law, which puts Pakistain’s minorities at the receiving end of fundamentalist violence, has a history of causing liquidations and provoking terrorist attacks by hardline groups. While it does have a terrible record in protecting its minorities, the current Pakistain Moslem League (PML-N) government of Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... is trying to turn the tables on the country’s critics. "The day is not far when Pakistain will be recognised as a minorities-friendly country due to steps being undertaken to better the lives of minority groups," Nawaz Sharif said during a recent visit to an old Hindu temple. |
