Imran Khan’s Naya Pakistan is old wine in an old bottle. It continues to be a dangerous country for its minorities, especially the Hindus. The Human Rights Watch report on Pakistan in 2018 states that “women, religious minorities, and transgender people face violent attacks, discrimination, and government persecution, with authorities failing to provide adequate protection or hold perpetrators accountable”. Most of those facing blasphemy allegations are members of religious minorities”. The international community should pressure Pakistan to ensure the safety and well-being of the vulnerable sections of society.
