Until the bus is fixed yoube our guide and take
us around!What is your area famous for?
A famous female singerbelongs to this area!
It is also famous for a lotof other things but …..
But what?
26
24 25
What was the incident?I didn’t watch the news
If you stop playing with your mobile only then...
9
Sad! Indeed crueland unjust!
Why unjust? Aren't ourfellow Muslims being
targeted in the name ofreligion as well?
Listen! No religion in the world permits injustice
29
27 28
Who created this misconception?
People who follow such a mindset thenspread violence and hate among people
10
Kami! Due to some misconceptiona married couple was burnt alive
Did this happen because they wereNon Muslims?
Yeah! And probably due to the peoplespreading religious hatred
And then such a mindset breedsviolence in a society
32
30 31
11
But this doesn't mean that we spread hate in the name
of religion
Then such people use violence in the name of religion Come with me!
Children! You guys explore! I will staywith bus
35 36
33 34Father! We were all going on a college tripwhen our bus broke down. I have brought my
friends to show them our area
Children! Welcome!
Uncle! We would like to meet the family of the couplewho was burnt alive
Yes! Indeed it was avery tragic incident
Did such incidentsoccur in the past
as well?
12
39 40
37 38I used to play cricket withthem in these streets. Wenever saw such incidents
So this means at that timethere was no unrest in the
name of religion
We never even thought ofsuch things. We celebrated each
other's festivities as our own
Nowadays they have eventargeted innocent children in
the name of religion
Such people do not care aboutanyone! They can stoop to any levelto spread hatred amongst people
Can you take us to their home?
Of course! I will take you toMaa ji's house
Tabinda! You go insideto ask for permission!
Noshaba! Come along!
13
43 44
41 42Maa ji! We are college students and wouldlike to talk to you
Please come in!
We would like you to come outside since we have a lotof students with us
Ok!
Children! Would you like to have tea?No thank you! We would like
to have a few minutesof your time
14
47 48
45 46 I would love to have somebiscuits with the tea
We are told not to eat ordrink anything from the hands
of non-Muslims
People belonging to such mind setare the reason for hatred in our society
Man! I’ll make sure to haveatleast a glass of
water here
Maa ji! We are very sorry to hearabout your son and daughter in law
Children! Thank you for comingover here
Maa ji! Can we recordyour message?

Maa ji the whole nation is with you. They won'tdare to touch you!
Son! I still worry for the onesalive Maa ji! Trust us we are
with you
Children thank you for encouragingme! What will happen after you
record my interview?
16
55
53 54We will try to tell the people so thatsuch incidents can be stopped
Ok! Maybe the recording ofmy message can save somebody
else's son from persecution
Maa ji! What would youlike to say?
Few years ago no one was concerned abouteach other’s religion. We all participated in
each other’s grief and happiness
It's still possible!

You will definitely get justice!
61 62
59 60 Thank you so much! You youngsters have
boosted my morale
Uncle! What will you say
about this incident?
We should be ashamed that wedo these kinds of things and call
ourselves Muslims
Absolutely! Anyone who causesharm to someone else is an insult
to humanity!
We have been advised to take care ofeveryone including women, children
and the elderly
Despite this we attack the innocentand the weak

72 73
70 71Sir! We would like to inform thepeople about the information we
got
Give us someinformation about this
According to our Constitutionall citizens have equal rights
This means that according to the lawwe are all equal Sir! Such incidents are tarnishing our country's
image at the international level
23
76
74 75
Remember that people from allreligions played a part in the
creation of Pakistan
24
We should also promote positive things for creatinga positive image of our country What kind of role can we play
in this?
79 80
77 78

Many Non Muslims have served as
Government officials and lawyers
Who was the one who offered hisservices as a judge?
Durab Patel is among many to serve as chief
justice of Pakistan
There are also many non Muslims in the armed forces
25
83
81 82
Sir! Apart from Cecil Chaudary, Charan
Singh also served in the army!
26
Any name for example?
Cecil Chaudary was a fighterpilot who played a very important role in the
1965 and 1971 wars; he received Sitar – e –Jurat

people about them
I have recorded all the information!
Very good Kami
It is our duty to inform peopleabout their equal rights
We will fulfill
our duties!
27

Wow! And I will write a column inthe newspaper regarding this
The boy who showed us his village,his father owns a newspaper; we'll
tell him to publish the column

Tell me!
29
95
93 94
Sir! Thank you for helpingus in spreading the message
across and giving us permissionfor itThis was our
duty!
30
The rights of non Muslims in the1973 Constitution!
Everyone is equal in theeyes of the law!
We all are one!
97 98
96
Few years ago no one knew each other's religion, everyone used to celebratefestivals together and participate in each other's happiness and grief.
Hope it happens again !
Youngsters in the college have starteda movement for the awareness and
protection of the rights of Non MuslimPakistanis
What was the reason forinviting the media?
Apart from the coverage of this event the mediashould also create awareness for the protection of
rights of Non Muslim Pakistanis31
100
99If the youth are concerned about
this then we adults shouldplay our part as well
It is time that we should come out of this sectarianism,racial discrimination and think about the country's
future as one. If we keep on going like this one day youand I can also be a target of this extremism
