Islamabad, Aug 11 : Christians in Peshawar are living in fear after receiving anonymous letters threatening suicide attacks on their localities if they did not convert to Islam, said a Member National Assembly (MNA) belonging to minority community.

MNA Pervez Masih MNA belonging to the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) disclosed in the National assembly that the Christians living in various localities in Peshawar had received hand written letters in which they had been asked to quit their religion.
