"Mr President, I speak in my role as Chair of Parliament’s Delegation for Relations with the Countries of South Asia, which includes Pakistan. I want once again to reassure Members that these issues are raised by the delegation with the highest authorities when we travel there. I think there are many people in Pakistan who recognise that there is a need for change, not just for minorities but for all Pakistanis, whatever their belief.
People should not be facing arbitrary accusation; they should not be in a situation where evidence is presented against them which they cannot hear and which they cannot test. But we also have to realise that to argue for change is really literally putting your life on the line, and I do wonder sometimes how brave many of us would be in those situations. Part of what we are trying to do in Pakistan is to change the situation on the ground, to make change possible, so that is why we need to support universal education which does not undermine Islam but undermines the power of those who would use it for their own purposes."@en1
