Pakistan: Conspiracy of government to halt Exodus of Persecuted Pakistani Christian

Dr. Nazir S Bhatti, President of Pakistan Christian Congress PCC have strongly condemned government of Pakistan and Interior Ministry of Pakistan to impose unannounced ECL for Pakistan Christians travelling to South Asia and South East Asian countries from all airports of Pakistan.

Exist Control List ECL is issued by Interior Ministry of Pakistan to ban travel on persons wanted by law or of those who’s cases are being heard and taken as flight risk but immigration authorities in every airport of Pakistan are off loading Christians who have destinations to Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong.

According to complains received by Pakistan Christian Post PCP from Christians travelers, more than three hundred Christians were illegally off loaded from their confirmed flights from Benazir Bhutto International Air Port Islamabad, Allama Iqbal International Airport Lahore and Jinnah International Airport Karachi;

After 2009, when incident of attacks on Christian life and properties rose to its peak in Punjab province of Pakistan and registration of blasphemy cases against Christians also rose up to 200% and none of Muslim culprit was punished, the Pakistani Christian were forced to flee from Pakistan to take refuge in South Asian and South East Asian Countries.

According to PCP sources, there are more than 9,000 Christians in Thailand, more than 4,000 in Sri Lanka, more than 2,000 in Malaysia and hundreds in Singapore and Hong Kong, waiting for decisions on their asylum cases registered with UNHCR.

There are dozens of so-called Christian Legal Aid, Social Welfare and Church based organizations in Pakistan who collect huge funds to fight cases of Christian blasphemy victims and other persecuted Christians but none of them have ever tried to safe those Christian victims. The World Vision in Progress WVIP is only organization which provides legal assistance to blasphemy victims and other persecuted Christians and rescues them by shifting them to other countries with its funds.

As, government of Pakistan is using its Foreign Missions in Western countries to hire some members of Pakistani Christian Diaspora as its tools against any protest on incidents of persecution in Pakistan to safe its image; In same way, now government of Pakistan have engaged few Christian tools in Thailand to discourage Christian asylum seekers for which cash envelopes are distributed among them.

The Christian tools of Pakistan Embassy in Bangkok are directed to launch a campaign against that NGO, named World Vision in Progress WVIP and its Founder Farrukh Saif that its “Rescue Pakistani Christian” mission may be damaged.

Dr. Nazir Bhatti Said “on one hand government of Pakistan is off loading persecuted Christians from flights and on other hand have launched propaganda against WVIP which rescues victims is condemnable”

Nazir Bhatti said that a complete report will be published about Christian tools of Pakistan Embassy in Bangkok who are working on Pakistan Government agenda to create confusion among thousands of Pakistani Christian asylum seekers that they may go back to Pakistan.
