Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Secretary General and Leader of House in Senate Jahangir Badar said terrorism perpetrated by miscreants against Christians in Badami Bagh was both condemnable and contemptible because it was an un-Islamic, illegal and immoral. He said these miscreants were a source of shame and a blot on the face of humanity. They have manifested their mental sterility by indulging in an abhorrent activity like this, he added. He said they had also betrayed the founder of the nation Quaide Azam, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, who had clearly said there would be religious freedom in Pakistan. He said the president had taken serious notice of the gruesome incident and directed the Punjab governor to submit a report immediately.He said the announcement of Rs 500,000 to each affected family would greatly help in rehabilitation of the victims. He said PPP had always stood by the minorities. He recalled that PPP had played a leading role in the legislative process on awarding representation to minorities in the parliament on the basis of their population.
