Persecuted minorities

It has been 77 years since Pakistan was built but the country’s religious minorities are still being persecuted and are, in many cases, not allowed to practice their faith and are discriminated against. This goes against human rights. There should be true tolerance and freedom of worship in Pakistan. Issues like forced conversion and discrimination in employment are chronic problems and a cause for alarm. This needs to change and religious minorities should be given equal rights just like all other citizens in Pakistan and not be persecuted or discriminated against.
