The discussion revolved around creating legal protections for religious minorities and ensuring that religious practices do not compromise Pakistan’s national security or public order.
The gathering concluded with a call for stronger laws that protect religious freedoms while ensuring that any activities that threaten Pakistan’s unity or security are swiftly addressed.
