Pakistan minorities await implementation of historic ruling
Vested interests blamed for interfering with the progress of a Supreme Court judgment to protect minority rights
New research assessing the Pakistan Supreme Court’s 2014 judgment to protect minority rights predicts its implementation will take more than two decades.
“During this period, a Supreme Court bench has conducted 23 follow-up hearings and passed nearly six dozen orders, yet Pakistan stands 21 years away from the finish line of full implementation, considering the existing pace of compliance,” the study states.
“The federal government reported the least number of compliance reports. No report had been submitted from Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Reportage from the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony and Ministry of Federal Education was in particular missing.”
LAHORE: March 31 marked 2483 days, six years and nine months after the landmark judgment on the rights of the minorities was passed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Tassaduq Hussain Jillani on April 19,.

Silence prevailed, finding the sages in two minds, he went up the stage. His English poem or whatever hammered Gorbachev and his Perestroika. Once
