The Commission for Peace and Human Development (CPHD), a minorities' non-government organisation, has welcomed the exclusion of religious column from the Pakistani passport.
According to the Daily Times, the CPHD praised the government, particularly the National Reconstruction Bureau for the initiative to curb religious discrimination from society.
The CPHD observed this was another good move after the restoration of the joint electorate, but a lot was to be done as there were biased articles in the Constitution, prejudiced lawmaking and curricula and distinction in the electoral system.
