Islamabad: President Dr Arif Alvi and Prime Minister Imran Khan lauded the role of minorities, particularly the Christians, in the socio-economic development of the country and reiterated the government’s commitment to provide equal opportunities to all Pakistanis.
The president said in his message on Christmas being celebrated on Saturday, “On this happy day, I highly appreciate the services and role being played by all the minorities living in Pakistan, particularly the Christian community for the socio-economic development of the country in general and in the fields of health and education in particular”.
