Pakistani Christians Face Discrimination at Relief Camps

Christian Today has a news story that you may be interested in seeing.  Here's a link to the full story.

As the new influx of civilians continue to flood camps and relief efforts continue in full swing, thousands of Christians are alleging discrimination at the hands of local authorities.

According to a Christian source, government-designated staffs at relief camps are denying Christians permission to register and the minority faces social ostracism, threats and abuse.

Pakistan Christian Congress Chief Dr. Nazir S Bhatti said the registration process for Christians, Sikhs and Hindus at relief camps has been harsh and he called upon the Federal Minority Ministry to set up separate camps.

Quoting a displaced Christian, Yousaf Masih, Bhatti said, “The staff on registration duty appointed by government is not permitting them in camps on a plea that Muslim displaced families cannot share food made for them which is prepared and distributed by them.”
