LAHORE (Online) - Pervez Rafique, a minority MPA of Pakistan Peoples Party from Punjab, Sunday resigned from the provincial assembly in protest against the Joseph Colony attack.
On March 9, a huge mob attacked and set ablaze more than 100 houses of Christians living in the colony over alleged blasphemous remarks against Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by Sawan Masih, a 28-year-old Christian sanitation worker.
While speaking to media, Rafique accused the Punjab government of protecting extremists.
He further said that the provincial government had failed as it could not prevent the incident from happening despite signs of a possible attack.
Rafique added that material help to those affected is of no good if the root cause is not addressed.
