Pakistan will soon be recognised as a “minorities-friendly country”, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday said as he ordered renovation of Katas Raj complex, one the most sacred places of Hindus in the Muslim-majority country. Pakistan is pursuing policies to establish the country’s identity as a minority-friendly country and followers of all religions have equal rights in the country, Sharif said speaking at the Katas Raj Temples Complex in Chakwal.
“The day is not far when Pakistan will be recognised as a minorities-friendly country due to steps being undertaken to better the lives of minority groups,” he was quoted as saying by the state-run APP news agency. The Prime Minister said he has advised Government officials to spare no efforts in hosting pilgrims and the protection and expansion of minorities’ places of worship.
