Talking to APP here Sunday, she said that Human Rights Ministry on the issues of minorities has 24/7 helpline that caters to human rights reports from across Pakistan and provides free legal counseling to the citizens.
The government is taking possible measures for the right of minorities and human protection is the government’s top priority.
Like EU, there are personal laws for non-Muslims, there is a law for Hindu marriage and divorce, and a Christian divorce law will soon be presented in the National Assembly.
