Pakistan: Christian Cemetery In Pasrur Under Muslim Land Mafia Menace

People in Pasrur, District Sialkot are facing constant threat as an influential Muslim community land mafia group trying to take possession of community cemetery by force to build a roadway to connect their housing project over the graves.
The British rule allotted that cemetery to Christian community in their regime. The Muslims are now arguing that the land belongs to them. The construction group has recently initiated a housing project contiguous to the cemetery and over the graves.
The community leaders are meeting with the representative of the local government to resolve the matter amicably. The Christians of the city are courageously safeguarding the cemetery 24/7 and are ready to surrender their lives if the group ever attempted to vandalize the graves of their ancestors.
