Speaking of Tolerance


The Liberal Forum Pakistan (LFP) arranged a seminar on ‘Peace and Tolerance’ at a local hotel on Saturday.
The panel, which was opened by LFP Lahore Chapter General Secretary Alia Shah, stressed on the need for tolerance in Pakistan, linking it to the recent killing of former governor Salmaan Taseer and minorities minister Shahbaz Bhatti. LFP Lahore Chapter President, Muhammad Safdar, said that Pakistan could not progress without tolerance. LFP Information Secretary Ammara Ahmad insisted that the judicial system must ensure that justice prevails in the murder cases of Taseer and Bhatti.
Taranjeet Singh, a media personality and activist, traced the evolution of societies and how tolerance remains an important stone of any peaceful set-up. Coordinator to the president Naveed Chaudhry relished Asif Ali Zardari’s decision to tolerate the opposition and foil any attempts to disrupt the system. The LFP is a non-profit organisation promoting liberal values in Pakistan, and is funded by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation. pr
