@lastofthepatriots
Your post over the origin being Turkic has since been removed for obvious reasons. While you are right, and you did not quote me anyways, yet the reply was in continuation of my post, hence my addressing you.
While it is Turkic, but the same was appropriated by the very same Turks upon capture of Constantinople in 1453. Also, very interesting to read the history of adoption of Flag of All India Muslim League with minor tweaks, as the flag of Pakistan.
@Hakikat ve Hikmet The point the above member was making was to precisely uphold the tenets. But your rejoinder was actually antithetical. That too, seems to have since been hidden. The appropriation of a symbol, ironically from a people who were established for
idol worship, is rather ironic. Would you not agree?
Thank you gentlemen, for exemplifying the dichotomy of the situation as I had intended. Please do correct me if any thing is amiss/can be added.

this is very sad, and very bad as you said.
when you decide to point fingers fix your own house.
Allow me.
The minorities are neither disenfranchised, nor is the population dwindling. The same is a bit of a problem to be claimed for Pakistan.
From your source, since you have been kind to point out a very pertinent fact and this remains a
Pakistan Defence Forum , so factors which may be detriment to Pakistani defence and security, needs an elucidation too:
Security forces remained unaccountable for human rights violations and exercised disproportionate political influence over civilian authorities, especially in matters of national security and counterterrorism. In March, parliament passed a constitutional amendment reinstating secret military courts to try terrorism suspects for another two years. Security forces were implicated in enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings throughout the country.
The government muzzled dissenting voices in nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and media on the pretext of national security. Militants and interest groups also threatened freedom of expression.
Women, religious minorities, and transgender people faced violent attacks, discrimination, and government persecution, with authorities failing to provide adequate protection or hold perpetrators accountable. The inclusion of the transgender population in the 2017 census and the first-ever proposed transgender law were positive developments.
The human rights crisis in Balochistan continued with reports of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings of suspected Baloch militants. Baloch nationalists and other militant groups continued attacking non-Baloch civilians.
