Paul Bhatti – Minister in Charge of National Harmony, Pakistan

Paul Bhatti is Pakistan's Minister for National Harmony but what hope is there for national harmony in a country wrecked by extremist violence and endemic corruption?

Paul Bhatti is Pakistan's Minister for National Harmony - job description that seems deeply ironic given his country's current turmoil. He accepted the job after his brother was assassinated whilst serving as Minorities Minister.
