00:15to his interpretation of Islam that created many problems not only for religious minorities but
00:23also for different sects of Muslims all these discriminatory laws were implemented by General
00:31Ziaulak in the name of Islam and since then the religious minorities are concerned about
00:40their security about their rights in Pakistan although all governments had been saying and
00:47even present government says that minorities have equal rights and minorities are safe in Pakistan
