KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party MPA Surendar Valasai has accused the federal government led by Imran Khan of inflicting negative discrimination against the Dalits or Scheduled Castes communities of Pakistan by completely ignoring them in the proposed nominations for National Commission for Minority Rights (NCMR). In a statement issued here on Friday, Valasai said that Scheduled Castes form almost close to half of the total non-Muslim population in the country yet not a single member has been nominated from them by PTI government in the proposed NCMR, which was a sheer form of negative discrimination against the marginalized majority. He further said that provincial governments should be taken on board in the formation of the said Commission. The federal government must induct the best brains from the non-Muslims as per their population ratio instead of making it another political arm of PTI, the PPP MPA added.
