Pakistan denies aid to Christians during Corona crisis
International Christian Concern (via Jihad Watch and Israel National News) reported that Pakistani Christians are being denied food supplies by authorities during the COVID lockdown, and it's happened at least 4 times so far:
International Christian Concern (ICC) has been made aware of another incident in which Pakistani Christians were denied food aid amid the COVID-19 crisis. This marks the fourth incident ICC has documented since Pakistan was place on lockdown by authorities seeking to combat the pandemic.Well not the Pakistani authorities, since they're easily in on this abominable behavior. I'd say it's the Trump administration that should be contacted about this. It's no shock at all this would happen in a mainly Islamic country.
According to a video post on Facebook, Christians were denied food aid on April 2 in a village situated on the Raiwind road, near Lahore. A local pastor, who wished to remained unnamed, confirmed the incident when contacted by ICC.
In the Facebook video, a young Christian man claims that a local mosque committee distributed foodstuffs on April 2 to deserving families. However, the management asked the village’s Christians to leave the mosque compound because the food aid was meant for only Muslims.
“If this is the situation, then what are the arrangements for Christians?” the Christian asked in the Facebook video. “Who is going to feed them? Are we not citizens of the same country?”
“Denying food aid and discriminating among citizens is a crime,” Aftab Hayat, a Pakistani NGO leader, told ICC. “Christians often face discrimination and are victims of religious hatred. However, the situation for Christians in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis is alarming and becoming worse. Therefore, the authorities must take note of the developing situation.”
