Violation of Constitution Does Not Serve Pakistan: PCMR
-
LAHORE, Pakistan: The People’s Commission on Minority Rights (PCMR), a Civil Society Organ, has expressed its dismay over the news circulating in media, purporting that the Chairman of the National Commission on Minorities (NCM) Mr. Chela Ram has supported the violation of the fundamental right of religious minorities guaranteed under the Article 22 of Constitution of Pakistan.
In a joint statement on behalf of the PCMR, Justice (retd) Kailashnath Kohli, Advocate Kalpana Devi, M Parkash Mehtani, Dr. A H Nayyar, and Peter Jacob said that Mr. Ram apparently was uninformed of the opinion of educationists, the recent directions of the Supreme Court as well as Pakistan constitution on the subject.
