Tim Uppal said “The government of Pakistan has rightfully taken military action against the Taliban who had been harassing and persecuting religious minorities such as Sikhs, Christians, and Hindus. Canadians are very concerned for these people who have been forced out of their homes. It was important for me to get a first hand look at their living conditions. The international community will need to support Pakistan in this effort against the Taliban by helping the millions of internally displaced people”
