American Congressman to Pakistan: Terrorism and Religious Freedom Non-Negotiable

World News: Senior US MP Brad Sherman gave a strong message during a meeting with the Pakistani delegation on Thursday that Pakistan will have to take every possible step to eliminate the disgusting terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed active in its country. He also urged Pakistan to ensure the safety of religious minorities living in his country.

Daniel Pearl's murder mention, tough stand against terrorism

Brad Sherman said that the fight against terrorism is very important, especially in the context of Jaish-e-Mohammed, who brutally murdered his parliamentary journalist Daniel Pearl. The family of Daniel Pearl still lives in the same area. Sherman reminded them that terrorist Omar Saeed Sheikh was convicted of the murder, which reflects the seriousness of the fight.

Concern over the safety of religious minorities in Pakistan

Sherman also expressed concern about the safety of religious minorities in Pakistan. He said that Christians, Hindus, and Ahmedia Muslims living in Pakistan should get freedom to follow their religious traditions, escape from violence and discrimination, and participate in democratic life. He said that it is necessary to give equal status to people of all religions.

Emphasis on the release of Dr. Shakeel Afridi

The US MP also asked the Pakistani delegation to ask his government to release Dr. Shakeel Afridi as soon as possible. Dr. Afridi is one of the Pakistani doctors who helped America raise DNA samples of Osama bin Laden's family. He was sentenced to 33 years in jail in 2012. His release considers his release as an important step in the fight against terrorism.

America's tough stand against terrorism continues

This statement of Brad Sherman reflects the US policy in which priority is being given to protecting human rights along with taking decisive steps against terrorism. This clear message is an attempt to get Pakistan to take action against terrorist groups and ensure religious freedom in their country.

Increasing international pressure on Pakistan

This strict comment of Brad Sherman has come at a time when Pakistan is already surrounded by its terrorism-supporting image on global forums. India has been continuously exposing Pakistani shelter to Jaish, Lashkar and other terrorist organizations. Now even in the US, Pak representatives get an open warning show that the international community will now be satisfied with action, not with words.
