The first ever World Minorities Alliance meeting was held at Kensington Town Hall on April 11th.
-
The meeting had a large number of high profile guests including; Rt Hon Mohammed Nadeem Sarwar the first ever Muslim MP in the UK, Rt Hon Shahid Malik Minister for Communities, and Rt Hon Sadik Khan Minister for Transporty and Privy Counsellor, Wajid Shamsul Hasan High Commissioner for Pakistan and various other patrons.
-
The event was organised by Julius Salik a former Federal Minister for Culture and Community in Pakistan and a one time nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize. The first Christian Federal Minister in Pakistan.
-
The aims of the World Minorities Alliance is to create a World body that can can challenge for peace, an end to persecution, equality and full Human Rights for minority groups across the globe. Julius Salik hopes that one day the group will have the authority to speak our against crimes of this nature at the UN Council, European Council and other existing world bodies.
-
In his capacity as Vice Chairman of the British Pakistani Christian Association, Wilson Chowdhry was invited to speak at the event and to join the initial committee.
-
After the meeting Wilson said:
-
"It was a great honour to be able to attend this meeting and represent Pakistani Christians. Seeing Christians, Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus, and people of other faiths and those with no faith united in promoting such laudable ideals, highlights the great efforts of Julius Salik. Such a meeting where all participants spoke on a level platform would not happen in Pakistan or many other countries where human rights are non-existent. I will be praying for the success of this group that could be the seed change needed for a better Pakistan.
