Safeguarding of human rights in Pakistan, or more specifically in its largest Punjab province,
is complex, given the nation's demographic diversity, huge population
and a democracy that is an admixture of both Islamic and secular laws.
Pakistan's Constitution, like any other provides for fundamental rights, but whether they are guaranteed is debatable because, every now and then, we hear of cases of religious discrimination against Christians, Hindus and non-Sunni Muslims, targeted terror-related sectarian and communal violence, caste discrimination in the corridors of power and electoral restrictions.
