Religious Freedom
After destroying the economic conditions of the Christian the attack of Muslim majority was to limit the religious freedom of Christians. In the first stage the objective resolution was taken as a preamble of the constitution of Islamic republic of Pakistan in 1973, Christian personal law was an immediate target. The Christian marriage was no more protected according to their religion in Pakistan. Muslim judges were awarding divorce decree. The black law of rational marriages bill was passed and under this law Muslim majority members were forcibly converting and marrying Christian ladies after kidnapping and rape.
The Constitution barred the Christian to be head of state, Governor, Speaker of National Assembly, Prime Minister or any commanding official post in the armed forces of Pakistan. More over the implementation of Islamic law on minorities, victimization under blasphemy laws and other Islamic laws of compensation and evidence closed down the dialogue between Christian and Muslim in Pakistan. The state was planning to damage the Christian identity in Pakistan. They forced the Pakistan Christian Congress to struggle to safeguard the religious freedom and identity of Christians in Pakistan.
