Karachi: August 2, 2012. (PCP)In a press statement on 3rd anniversary of Gojra massacre, Dr. Nazir S Bhatti, President of Pakistan Christian Congress PCC has slammed government of Pakistan on not ensuring justice to victims who were burnt alive by Muslim mob. On 1st August 2009, thousands of extremist Muslims attack Christian Town in Gojra city setting on fire more than sixty homes and burning 7 Christians alive. The Muslim mob have destroyed dozens of homes of Christians in village Korian on allegation of burning Quran on 31st July 2009, which situated on few miles away from Gojra. The children, women and elder man were among 7 Christians who failed to run away from attacking Muslim mob and were burnt alive in their home. There were cases registered against 200 hundred Muslims on murder and setting on fire Christian properties but only 12 were arrested. The police also registered cases against Christian victims to shape it as riots among Christian and Muslims. The extremist Muslim organizations and Punjab government harassed and pressurized Christian’s victims to withdraw their cases. All arrested Muslims were bailed out from local courts and later acquitted from serious charges on pressure from Punjab administration. The high ranking police officer present on time of Muslim mob attack was later promoted and honored on not stopping attackers from burning alive Christians. Nazir Bhatti said that government of Pakistan have never ensured justice to Christians in any incident which denies its claims that minorities are enjoy equal rights in Pakistan. “We are observing 3rd anniversary of victims of Gojra massacre today but we have lost our hopes in justice in Islamic Republic of Pakistan” said Nazir Bhatti
