PAKISTAN Islamabad confirms Catholic Shahbaz Bhatti as Minister for minorities

Islamabad confirms Catholic Shahbaz Bhatti as Minister for minorities

Government reshuffle took place yesterday. Bhatti has struggled in recent years to amend the blasphemy law and has recently requested a pardon for Asia Bibi.
Bhatti, who is a Catholic, was the first parliamentarian to take up the post of Minister for Minorities. His Christian predecessors were offered only minor portfolios.
