Violence against minority surges in #Pakistan as Christian youth stabbed to death in #Lahore
Violence against the minorities in #Pakistan is on the rise as in a fresh incident, a Christian man was stabbed to death by a mob of the majority community in Lahore
A 25-year-old Christian youth, the brother of seven sisters, was stabbed to death during a clash between the members of Muslim and Christian community over the construction of a wall in the neighbourhood in the Factory Area police limits on Monday
The incident is the latest attack against the minority community in Pakistan.
The community members had scuffled a day earlier over the same issue in which the brother of the deceased was left injured.
An FIR of that violent incident had also been registered, said the Pakistani publication.The Lahore police could not follow up the issue properly despite being a sensitive issue as they claim they are busy in the security of the PSL matches.
According to the complainant of the FIR Akhtar Bhatti, the uncle of the deceased Pervaiz Maseeh, a group of around 200 people led by Sohni s/o Allah Ditta, Malik Billa, Sufiyan Butt and others had gathered in the street near his house in LDA quarters.
They were hurling abusive language and making noise. It came after two Christian priests, Pastor Patrick and Pastor William Siraj, were shot dead by unknown bike-borne assailants on Sunday at Ring Road, Peshawar on January 31.
The priests were returning from their Sunday prayers, reported local media. Pastor Anwar Fazl, Chairman Aijaq TV and Eternal Life Church condemned this heinous act
and asked the authorities to arrest the accused otherwise large scale protests will be carried out by the Christian community in Pakistan.
The recent attacks on Christian youth and priests are yet another example of continuing atrocities against minorities in Pakistan. In recent years, there has been a surge in attacks on minorities and also their places of worship in Pakistan.
The country has been slammed by the international community for not safeguarding the interests of minorities.

Hong Kongers’ concerns over Zero-Covid policy, #Beijing tells HK to implement
Frustration is writ large on the faces of Hong Kongers following the imposition of zero covid policy in the global financial hub on Thursday (Feb 10) in view of growing number of infections.
The zero covid policy which aims to totally stamp out outbreaks is a gigantic task and cannot be achieved under any circumstances. The policy is in line with Beijing’s zero covid policy.
Some people said that zero cases will mean everyone’s wallet will become empty because a lot of people will be out of work and have no income. After February 24, the administration will roll out vaccine pass and allow only vaccinated people
A recent spate of attacks is adding weight to fears that the #Taliban takeover in #Afghanistan poses a security nightmare for Pakistan.
