Mr Shuja Alam Consulate General of Pakistan Vancouver Mr. Shahbaz Bhatti, minister for minority affairs and the only Christian in Pakistan's cabinet, was gunned down in Islamabad on 2nd March, 2011, more or less just two months after the brutal assassination of Punjab's governor Salman Taseer. Immediately after the Pakistani Taliban claimed the responsibility of Bhatt�''s killing and justified it on the grounds of the minister suggesting changes in Pakistan's infamous blasphemy laws. Fraser Valley Peace Council in association with the Committee of Progressive Pakistani Canadians and the Indo-Canadian Workers Association is holding a condolence meeting and memorial service in sad remembrance of Shahbaz Bhatti Sunday, on 3rd April, 2011 Newton Library, 13795 70 Avenue, Surrey, BC Canada. We the organizers strongly believe that the silence is not the option and time has come that the individuals and groups who believe in peace, freedom and human dignity should stand up and make their voices heard against the hard-liner, extremist and violent minority within Pakistan and elsewhere in the world
