Overview
Religious discrimination in Pakistan remains a significant human rights concern in Pakistan. Religious minorities including Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Shias, and Ahmadi Muslims often face discrimination and in many cases are subjected to violence. Christian churches and the congregations have been repeated targets of attacks, though documentation is limited. In 1947, 2nd Prime Minister of Pakistan Khawaja Nazimuddin, stated: "I do not agree that religion is a private affair of the individual nor do I agree that in an Islamic state every citizen has identical rights, no matter what his caste, creed or faith be".
