We selected 275 respondents randomly from District <br>Multan. Structure equation model revealed that social, cultural and religious threats were <br>associated with intentions of migration among minorities. Social threat, consisted of life <br>insecurity, hostility of majority and social exclusion, is stronger predictor of intentions to migrate <br>from Pakistan (p&lt;.001). Additionally, it was suggested that government officials should <br>encourage cross-religious participation to produce culturally pluralistic communities in Pakistan. <br>The law enforcement agencies should control extra-judicial murders of minorities and promote <br>national collectiveness regardless of religious diversity.</p> ER -
