Canada Dedicates A Park To Former Minister Shahbaz Bhatti
A park in the Canadian city of Brampton bears the name of the deceased Pakistani minister for minority affairs Shahbaz Bhatti in recognition of his contributions.
Shahbaz Bhatti was the first member of the Christian community to enter politics. He was appointed a federal minister by the PPP-led administration in 2008. However, TTP militants in Islamabad killed him.
Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown performed a ceremony to declare the “Shahbaz Bhatti Park” open. He also tweeted a number of pictures from the park opening celebration.
