
Students of Pakistan's religious minorities, including Christians, are
victims of exclusion, discrimination and acts of violence because of their
faith and their status

The complaint comes from Minorities Concern of Pakistan (MCP) which
says that most of the violations take place in government run institutions
and is committed by both classmates by teachers

It is despite that what is stated in the Constitution, in textbooks
"Pakistan is associated with the Muslims ... and says that Pakistan
is a country only for Muslims".

A recent incident showed their plight in the government run schools. On
May 28, about a dozen heavily armed men attacked a Christian religious
leader Pastor Mubarak Masih and his family. The incident occurred when
the pastor’s nephew Shaid, 13, declined to recite the Quran in a
government school in the city of Smundri in Punjab province.
