LAHORE: Members of the Christian community on Tuesday staged a protest demonstration at the GPO Chowk against damage to four churches for construction of the Orange Line train.
The protesters chanted slogans against the Punjab government and demanded it to stop bulldozing churches.
Christians’ leader Sajid Ishaq said the government was razing Cathedral Church, Naulakha Church, St Andrew’s Church and Church of Pakistan for the train project.
He alleged the government had planned to demolish churches to save the property of provincial minister Mian Shujaur Rehman.
