Reservations:Christian Community is facing all sorts of discrimination and disgrace from their land Lords, neighbors, or where ever they live or work. Christians have no right to respect, education, free living and now they are under observation/mockery of giving Birth, now our Majority brothers will decide whether the Christian women will give birth respectfully or like animals. Please dear brothers and sisters in Christ, this is not a simple or funny thing to know. Please know that Christian community is suffering in all ways whether it is moral or physical. Please pray for Christians in Pakistan.
