Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi says that minorities in Pakistan have equal rights and freedom to practice their religion and celebrate their religious festivals as envisioned by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and guaranteed by the constitution.

Addressing a grand public gathering in Mithi on the occasion of Hindu festival of Diwali, he said Pakistani Muslims celebrate festival of Diwali with their Hindu brothers but on the other side of border in Rajhistan, Muslims are under oppression.

The Foreign Minister said that PTI-led federal government has provided health cards indiscriminately to residents of Tharparkar and every family could avail medical coverage of one million rupees.
