Dr Nazir Bhatti demands an christian province

Overwhelming votes to support PCC demand of Separate Christian Province is true voice of Pakistani Christians. Nazir Bhatti
London: August 31, 2008. PCC leaders shall soon tour Canada and EU countries to address seminars and open discussions to seek support for division of Pakistan in 12 federally administered units to be called provincesand formation of Separate Christian Province in southwestern parts of Punjab said Nazir S Bhatti in telephonic conversation to Central Executive Council leaders of PCC.

Nazir Bhatti said, “overwhelming votes in favor of PCC demand is true voice of Pakistani Christians and government shall accept this verdict unless Christian youth shall be forced to take their own course of action”

We have received messages; mails of support and invitation from many countries to address gatherings on issue of Separate Christian Province in Pakistan, which have been accepted, and tours are scheduled in 2009.

Nazir Bhatti clarified that suggestions made by many Pakistani Christian leaders abroad to form exile government of “Christland and Takistan” are not under consideration of Pakistan Christian Congress because we demand Separate Christian Province within federation of Pakistan not an independent Christian country on division of Pakistan.

Nazir S Bhatti urged Christians to unite and join peaceful movement for division of Punjab and formation of Separate Christian Province.

“We support struggles of Siraki and Hazra movement to divide Punjab in three provinces because division of Punjab is important for solidarity of Pakistan” added Nazir Bhatti

Nazir Bhatti paid homage to all who voted in PCP to support demand of Separate Christian Province and urged government to consider it as referendum.

Nazir S Bhatti said that division of Pakistan in autonomous unit is only solution to end terrorism and religious extremism in Pakistan

Re: Dr Nazir Bhatti demands an christian province

These kind of ppl are puppets of other organizations and countries. Their bank accounts should always be kept on continuous check.

The name of the country is Islamic Republic of Pakistan where all believers are free to live and practice their religion. this is not Lebanon

Re: Dr Nazir Bhatti demands an christian province

aira ghaira nathoo khaira starts demanding anything, doesn' t mean we need to pay attention to every single of them.

Re: Dr Nazir Bhatti demands an christian province

If some one needs pakistan Govt's attention they need to use guns first.
Christians haven't done so.
SO on behalf of pak Govt. NO!!!

Dr Bhatti should know better!!

Re: Dr Nazir Bhatti demands an christian province

This is even more absurd than Altaf's demand for a seperate Jinnahpur

Re: Dr Nazir Bhatti demands an christian province

No but Dr. Bhatti don't want to break pakistan.

Re: Dr Nazir Bhatti demands an christian province

Are there enough Christians in the area they are demanding a "province" to make one city?

Re: Dr Nazir Bhatti demands an christian province

Islam is as foreign a religion in Pakistan, as Christianity.

This is clearly an absurd demand.

Theres belts of villages in the south of Punjab with overwhelming Christian populations, but they are small villages.

Re: Dr Nazir Bhatti demands an christian province

His demand is totally understandable

People like Bhatti used to advocate for single election system when there used to be separate elections for Muslims and non-Muslims. Now when that issue is resolved, Bhatti need an issue to remain in news and fill his fat wallet!

and the point is?

^^ he doesn't have a point.

Anyway, this is just absurd. A lame way to stay in news....

What he advocated was that he wants dual voting rights with separate electoral.

According to Mr bhatti there are about 20 million christians in pakistan and make up 13% of the states population and 18% of the punjab.

thats a threat

slap this joker

theres no need to lump all christians into one province. christians/hindus/sikh/jews are all free to live equally already

Then he needs to be taken up for investigation where those Christians are hiding, seems like he knows more about Pakistan than CIA :smiley:

There are 3% minorities that includes both Christians and Hindus, so probably this guy was smoking something or is getting some “special funding” for trying to cause unrest as he has threatened "accept this verdict unless Christian youth shall be forced to take their own course of action”

Re: Dr Nazir Bhatti demands an christian province

Ppl read between the lines. Dr Bhatti is testing the water. Like altaf he wants support from a segment of our society to fulfill his VERY OWN ambitions.
So he is just checking the response

The population of christians in 1947 was declared to be 2 or 3% of the total population of pakistan.
It is also known that after independence many low-caste hindus converted to christianty, thus further increasing their population.
how come they are only 1 % by 2008.

Who said they are only 1%? Do you have a source? Many Hindus migrated to India as well.
