LAHORE, Pakistan (Christian Daily International–Morning Star News) – In two landmark rulings, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday (Dec. 9) banned employers from seeking only Christians for sanitation jobs and called for safety measures for sewage cleaners, most of whom are Christian.
Read it all here.....The IHC, Pakistan’s federal high court, imposed a strict ban on the use of the phrase “Christians only” in advertisements for waste collectors and sweepers and called for comprehensive and urgent safety measures to curb the increasing number of deaths of sewage cleaners.
Addressing a broader set of concerns in two petitions jointly filed by the Center for Rule of Law Islamabad (CROLI) and the Pakistan United Christian Movement (PUCM), Islamabad High Court Justice Raja Inam Amin Minhas ruled that the wording “Christians only” is discriminatory and must be replaced with “civilian” in all future job postings.
