ISLAMABAD:
President Arif Alvi on Saturday urged the political leadership of France “not to entrench the discriminatory attitudes against Muslim into laws” and warned that such steps would lead to serious repercussions in the shape of hatred and conflict.

It can be said without any doubt that democracy, democratic attitudes and especially political parties have a fundamental role to play in the formation of an organized and balanced society in modern times. It is on record that the real motivation behind the tireless struggle of the All India Muslim League and the successful politics of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in this regard was driven by peaceful political and democratic thinking which led to the creation of Pakistan in the middle of the 20th century.
