Convener, World Minorities Alliance (WMA), and former federal minister for population welfare, Julius Salik on Monday proposed Chairman National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) Muhammad Tariq Malik to write “Massihi” instead of “Massih” with the names of Christians.
In a telephonic conversation with the NADRA Chariman, J Salik briefed him on an important issue pertaining to the Christian community’s registration at the NADRA.
Salik said he clarified the NADRA chair that it was a disrespectful to call a Christian a Massih which was irreligious. A Christian must be written or called a Massihi which was suitable and as per the faith of the Christians.
He said the NADRA Chairman agreed to his suggestion and accepted his point as a genuine concern that needed redressal.
