Minority rights, Shezan and High court Bar

Minority rights, Shezan and High court Bar

The high court bar association banned the use of Shezan juices in its premises because of the suspicion that the manufacturers are Ahmadies, a sect which was declared a non Muslim minority by the parliament headed by the so called liberal and progressive Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. That is ironical butridiculous is that the minority is not being given its right to exist as minority even. Their right of doing business in their own country is being hampered by not less than the champions of democracy, the lawyers' body. Shezan is one of the oldest industrial concern of our country which employs thousands of Pakistani Muslims and contributes to the economy of Pakistan. They also run a chain of bakeries and restaurants and are famous for their quality. Either this is a conspiracy of the competitors and the resolution of the lawyers against Shezan is funded by them or it is simply the defiance of the constitution of Pakistan which gives equal rights of living and doing business to the minorities of Pakistan. Rights of minorities are also protected by islam. Quran has laid principles for this and Hazrat Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him the last prophet of Allah guaranteed the rights of minorities in his last sermon at Mecca and in Meesaq e Madina. This ban is against the teachings of Islam and must be condemned. Qaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah also guaranteed those rights in his first speech to the first constituent assembly of Pakistan. This action of the Bar will accelerate intolerance and hatred in the society which is already Taliban-ridden.
