Petition for Action by British Asian Christian Association. Contact Juliet Chowdhry and Hannah Chowdhry for more information our contact details can be found at www.britishasianchristians.org.
Dear Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr Anwar ul Haq Kakar and Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi
We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned about the recent violent incidents in Jaranwala, Pakistan, which have resulted in the destruction of over 100 homes and the displacement of thousands of innocent Christians. Learn more (here).
The allegations of blasphemy that triggered these acts of violence have left a profound impact on the Christian community and the overall peace within the region. Learn more (here).
We are also deeply concerned about the recent violent incidents in Manipur, India, which have resulted in at least 250 deaths and tens of thousands of Christians being internally displaced. Learn more (here).
The safety and well-being of all citizens are of paramount importance, and we believe that immediate steps need to be taken to address this distressing situation. Learn more (here).
We urge the relevant authorities to:
1. Investigate Thoroughly: Conduct a transparent and thorough investigation into the allegations and incidents, ensuring justice is served and the truth is revealed.
2. Ensure Safety: Implement stringent measures to ensure the safety and protection of all citizens, regardless of their faith, in Jaranwala/Manipur and their surrounding areas.
3. Foster Harmony: Promote interfaith dialogue and understanding to prevent such incidents in the future and to build a harmonious society where diversity is respected and celebrated.
We stand united in our call for swift and effective action to restore peace, rebuild lives, and create an environment where every individual's rights are upheld and their safety is guaranteed.
This petition will be sent directly to the Prime Minister of Pakistan/Prime Minister of India and will be submitted by hand to the High Commissioner for Pakistan/India in the UK. A copy will also be sent to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak calling for Dialogue with both nations. We call for signatories from concerned people around the globe.

Pakistan and India have obligations, both under the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Commonwealth Charter to uphold human rights and democracy. Pogroms against Christians in Pakistan sadly continue unabated for the last thirty years.
The persecution of Christians in India and Pakistan, specifically Jaranwala and Manipur is an absolutely disgrace, a blot on the civilisation that allows this to continue. Barbaric!
Percecution rate in Pakistan is increasing day by day .. recently jaranwala case really horrible. Still no rehabilitation.. people are still receiving threats .. and a pastor fired by some people.. he is in jaile because of bulit fire. We need special care and sympathy from our big christian countries.
Christians in Pakistan undergo the worst torment and inhuman conditions in the world. I wish and pray the Christian countries around the world would wake up to extend help and support to absorb this minority in their countries. Everyday is a living hell for our poor Christian brethren. May they find favor and justice in the eyes of the law.
The civilised world must all stand together to recognise and fight against the evil that is done to Christians by both Muslim and Hindu extremists throughout the world. Made worse by the governments who do nothing to stop it and in many cases actively encourage it.
Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
This inhumanity shouldnt be tolerated

Both Pakistani and Indian governments are showing inequality of governance, partiality and a lack of rule of law where Christian communities are concerned. Neither country is presenting an honorable face to the world. Christian people are productive members of your communities and deserve to be treated as such.
