ATTARI: Various Christian organizations of Punjab held a demonstration at Indo-Pak international border here against the killing of Pakistan minority affairs minister Shahbaz Bhatti, first and only Christian minister in Pakistan cabinet. Blaming Pak government for its failure to protect the minority communities including Hindus, Sikhs and Christians, they demanded scrapping of Pak's infamous blasphemy law.
Bishop of Amritsar, Church of North India, PK Samantaroy said, "We will not give up this issue here." He said they would take up the matter with their partner organizations across the globe so that the same could be taken up with UNO.
