    "During a heated discussion of the budget, Abbasi called me churha (low caste). This is an insult to all religious minorities in Pakistan. His leader is also prejudiced. We only accept a Pakistan where there is no discrimination of color, cast [sic] or faith," said Tariq Gill, the Christian parliamentary secretary for human rights and minorities.
