So where's the ever-vigilant Western/Indian media coverage of Pakistani minorities?

This government & administration cannot be relied on, it is the people (regardless of religion or ethnicity) that need to step up & keep up the pressure to keep these supply lines closed for good, as well as clamping down on US presence in the country (Shamsi airbase, alleged presence in Shahbaz base etc).

The protest was led by Salim Gabriel, Hanif Maseeh, Javed Sindhu, Pastor Asif Rafique, Javed Enayat and Madam Tabassum. The speakers said the Nato strike was not the first of its kind, as Western forces had repeatedly violated Pakistan’s borders. “How can we forget the great sacrifices of our brave soldiers? All Christians of Pakistan categorically condemn this dastardly attack,” said one speaker. “If any country or alliance of countries tries to intrude our borders, our response should be very hard and fast.” The Christian leaders pledged their full support for the army in the defence of the country’s sovereignty and integrity. They said that the United Nations must take note of the incident and play a part in stopping such attacks on Pakistan.

So where's the ever-vigilant Western/Indian media coverage of Pakistani minorities?

i'd love to see their reactions and responses, but they'll opt to be conspicuously silent. Dead, dumb and mute as always when a headline doesnt seem "juicy" enough for them

they probably wouldnt even believe that we have Christian population in the tribal areas.......in my native Kurram, we even have small number of hindus who migrated generations ago

 

[notsuperstitious]

This clearly shows that this has nothing to do with Religion and Pakistan's fears that NATO is after them because of their ''Islamic Bomb'' are completely wrong.

Its time for Pakistan to stop viewing everything through the prism of religion and start cooperating with kafirs. Thank you pakistani christians and hindus for making that point.

Not after their "Islamic Bomb", but after their "Pakistani Bomb". Hence, the rest of your argument is moot.

Nothing strange,they are Pakistanis and even better than those so called "owners of islam"

what an absurd logic you have; the reason of the protest was to voice anger over the incident and to show solidarity with the armed forces

has nothing even to do with "Islamic bomb" and in fact -- i dont know what you are trying to insinuate by bringing up the kafir/non-kafir aspect of this subject in the first place.... your post was basically sensationalist (at best - useless)

It is the West that comes up with Pakistan's Islamic nature, the threat of Islamic Pakistan, & Islamic bomb. This is all bullcrap.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

thank you Pakistani Christians and Hindus for proving indian/western propaganda about them as wrong --and for showing (rightfully and righteously -in flying colors) that YOU have a voice and you have SAY in our country.

Headlines like these are not paper sellers in the west

If this was a deeply divided country like Iraq, Libya or Egypt; we would have seen people encouraging NATO/US to infiltrate into, & invade Pakistan. Despite all the problems Pakistan has, despite all the grievances everyone has, this is not a divided country: & all of us, regardless of our ethnicity or religion, stand up for this country. God bless every Pakistani citizen that stands up to these injustices.

 

[Karachiite]

Thanks NATO for uniting all Pakistanis. All Pakistanis regardless of religion or language care about this country so their anger is obvious. Too bad TOIlet news or Faux news wont show this.
