President has taken an immediate notice of vandalism against Christians in Toba Tek Singh, Punjab.

The President Asif Ali Zardari also advised the federal government to send the Minister for Minorities Shahbaz Bhatti to express sympathy with the victims. The President said there were laws of the land to deal with complaints and accusations against anyone and no one should be allowed to take the law into his own hands to settle scores. It is against the spirit of Islam and the norms of a civilized society when laws are taken into one’s own hands and members of the minority community are vandalized for real or imagined crimes, he said.

The President asked for a thorough investigation into the incident and to bring the culprits to justice in accordance with the law. He also took notice the reports of some lawyers manhandling the policemen and journalists, and called for a report from the provincial government. The President called for mutual tolerance, respect for dissent and reconciliation. Tolerance for plurality and respect for the views of others is part of the culture of democracy, he said.

“It is therefore our responsibility to promote democratic values and culture as a necessary tool of promoting tolerance and harmony,” he said.

Our provincial and district Chairman of NPCIH, have immediately visited the effected place and collecting the facts. We have strongly condemned these kinds of barbaric & illegal acts. Therefore, we are providing full support to the victims of this area. There is a need to understand the importance of interfaith harmony and Peace even more than the past, stated by Prof Dr. Syed Akbar Abbas our Ambassador, in his special message. He also stated that we are in touch with local / foreign sources & media personnel to rectify the such issue positively.
