At Independence, religious minorities were 23 percent of Pakistan’s population, the share has since reduced to a mere three percent
We are celebrating Pakistan’s 70th Independence Day. We have travelled a long way but, in all these years, among many other things we have not been able to decide whether Quaid-e-Azam wanted Pakistan to be an Islamic or a secular state.
Proponents of both sides have valid arguments, but we have failed to reach a unanimous agreement. We haven’t been able to establish our national narrative, an important clause of the National Action Plan against terrorism. Early this year, ex-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif tried to raise a consensus, but failed.
I fail to understand how and where our priorities of national interest are set. Nations that gained independence around the same time as Pakistan are doing much better than us, especially politically.
