Student challenges church in Peshawar University
2007-01-12
A student on Thursday challenged the construction of a church in Peshawar University at the Peshawar High Court (PHC), saying that the churchÂ’s construction inside a MuslimsÂ’ institute would trigger sectarian anger.
A proud day for good ol' PU, indeed. Pfeh.
Masood Khan, a Peshawar University student, submitted the writ petition through Advocate Khurshid Khan under Article 199 of the Constitution. The student claimed that a church in the university was un-Islamic and that it would fan sectarianism. He requested the PHC to stop the churchÂ’s construction.

The Peshawar University vice chancellor issued a notification for the construction of the church after Chief Minister Akram Durrani laid the foundation stone for the construction of the United Church at a ceremony on December 19, 2006, at the campus.

If there are 1.6m Christians in Pakistan shouldn't we be working with these people?
