The National Minorities Day is being observed today with the aim to highlight their religious and socio-economic rights in Pakistan.
The declaration to mark National Minorities Day was adopted as part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to help and secure those belonging to religious, linguistic, national or ethnic minority groups.
The day marks Quaid-e-Azam’s historic speech to the Constituent Assembly on August 11, 1947, in which he pledged equal rights and freedom of religion for all citizens.
