LAHORE/ISLAMABAD: Protests sparked across the country against Peshawar twin suicide blasts, demanding the government to take stringent measure for the security of the minorities.In Lahore,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler outlet[/url], Christian rights, minority rights and civil rights bodies held rallies and protest demonstrations expressing their grief over the Peshawar Church bombing, terming it criminal negligence on the part of the provincial government. All Pakistan Minorities Alliance Chairman Paul Bhatti said it was an act that cannot be condemned enough. He was critical of the KP government for not providing adequate security to the church despite the fact that the government was aware of the prevailing security situation and the clear and present danger. He demanded that the federal government should take matters into their hands as the provincial government has failed to deliver peace and security to the people and does not seem interested either. He demanded that all churches be provided with foolproof security across the country with immediate effect. President Global Peace and Preach Mission Pastor Samuel Khokhar said the Christians have been living in fear for a long while in Pakistan this incident shows that the state has failed to provide the minorities the right to live. He said all the Christians of Pakistan be sent to the Christian majority countries as soon as possible. The president of Pakistan Catholic Bishops Conference Archbishop Joseph Coutts said this killing of innocent women, children and men who were praying was a shameful act of cowardice. He condemned this bombing in the strongest words and requested the Christian community to remain peaceful even at this time of desperation. Executive Secretary of National Commission for Justice and Peace Peter Jacob said this incident was the most brutal act of religious intolerance. He said this unfortunate incident has not come about as a shock as the Christian community has been trying to voice their concerns and insecurity for a long but the government has paid no heed to it. The civil society also condemned terrorist attack on Peshawar church and termed it a brutal, inhuman act and against the values of Islam and humanity and also against the teachings of Islam. Civil Society Network held a demonstration at the Cheering Cross in which the civil society leaders said Islam is religion of peace and tolerance and such human activities are not tolerable. They said it is state responsibility to safeguard human lives and under article 25 of the constitution 1973 all citizen are equal. The state has failed to provide human shelters to the minorities in Pakistan. Abdullah Malik said this is beyond doubt that this is our war and we will need to not only openly fight it but own it instead of living in denial. A candle light vigil was held to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in this sad incident. Protest demonstrations were also held at Lahore Press Club, Babu Sabu Interchange, Bund Road, Joseph Colony, Yohannabad, and in front of Expo Center, Lahore. The protestors were saddened and raged at the incident. They were holding banners and placards inscribed with slogans demanding the right to live for the Christian communities.
