ISLAMABAD: The leaders of all religious organisations have rejected the US State Department’s report on religious freedom in Pakistan, stating that the US Commission for Religious Freedom had drafted an arbitrary report with biased and baseless information.
Addressing a joint press conference, the leaders of different religious parties along with Pakistan Ulema Council, Special Representative to Prime Minister on Religious Harmony, Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi, said the US State Department, contrary to the ground realities, had listed Pakistan in the list of countries violating religious freedom. “We want to invite the US Commission for Religious Freedom to visit Pakistan and make decisions on ground realities.”
