LAHORE: The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has demanded the PML-N government return 25 missionary institutions to Christians as the PTI has already returned Edward College in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to the church.

This was demanded by PTI Punjab Secretary-General Dr Yasmin Rashid and PTI minority MPA Shanila Rooth at the PTI Foundation Day and Easter celebrations here on Wednesday.

A large number of Christian and minority workers from the PTI were present on the occasion.

Dr Yasmin said the PTI believed in rights of the minorities and claimed it was the only party that formulated a minority policy and presented it in the media. She said party Chairman Imran Khan wanted the Quaid-i-Azam’s vision to become a reality and practically worked to ensure minorities in Pakistan got equal rights.

She said the PTI in KP had returned the Edward College to the church after 40 years.

PTI MPA Aslam Iqbal said it was because of PTI’s vision of justice and equal rights for all that so many communities could sit together and celebrate Easter and Foundation Day.
