ISLAMABAD: The Constitution of Pakistan is indeed a comprehensive document for basic human and minority rights, said Wednesday Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Gulzar Ahmed as the country observes the National Minority Day.
The top judge said while addressing a ceremony to commemorate the day, there are some works to be undertaken by the federal government in order to ensure minority rights, as enshrined in the law, are duly observed.
The attorney general is a legal representative of the federal and he may look into the demands made by the minority communities, while I can assist on the legal aspect of the matter, CJP said.
Article 20 of the Constitution envisages religious and basic freedom to every citizen of the country, he said, and added that every religioun in this country is free to establish their places of worship.
If any feudal lord imperils anyone from the minority community, the doors of the court are always open, he reassured the minorities in Pakistan.
