Karachi (Agenzia Fides) - “The working style of the National Commission for Minorities has so far been unsatisfactory. The themes of the meetings have not been made public so far and there are members of the Committee who are not official. Furthermore, the Commission is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interreligious Harmony, and thus lacks the necessary independence", says Kashif Aslam, Deputy Director of Projects of the" Justice and Peace "Commission (CCJP) in the Catholic Bishops' Conference.
