The incident comes as yet another example of the deplorable conditions under which religious minorities live in Pakistan.
Religious minorities continue to face brutal suppression of their rights that not only include the vandalism of their sites of worship but also attack on their houses and the illegal acquisition of their property lamented Rafiq.
They regularly become a target of rampant violence stemming from personal enmity to professional or economic rivalry.
Religious minorities remain a soft target of non-state actors and religiously inspired extremists. Meanwhile, the dogged persistence of state policies has failed to reboot the judicial system and rule of law.
