Imran Khan said that more than 2.5 crore children are out of the schools, getting education is right of every child, he added.

He said that common man of the country has been deprived of the basic rights.

We are unable to provide basic health facilities to the people of Pakistan, Imran added.

“Minorities were given rights in Madinah’s welfare state,” said Imran. “But the weak don’t get their due rights in Pakistan.”The PTI chief further said that during the ‘enlightened Muslim rule’ in the sub-continent, minorities were free to follow their religious beliefs.

“The more developed a society, the more protected are the weak from the powerful,” Imran said. “I have to say it with regret that I receive a lot of complaints from the Hindu community in Sindh that women belonging to the minority are forcefully married to Muslims.”Furthermore, Imran lamented that the law in Pakistan is different for the weak and powerful. Citing the example of American national Raymond Davis, who was not punished for killing a Pakistani man, the PTI chief said, “Had the same incident happened in US, nobody would have cared about diplomatic immunity. The person who was responsible for the accident would have been punished.”

The PTI chief reiterated that only those societies where the supremacy of law prevails are considered civilised.“Ask any minority group and the will complain about not getting their rights,” he said.

The politician recalled that the Constitution of Pakistan elaborates on rights of humans. “The Constitution has guaranteed that the state will provide education and health facilities to the people but what is actually available for the common man? Facilities are only available for a small segment of the society,” he observed.
