Hindu community in Pakistan to protest over forced conversion, abductions and forced marriages of minors

 

 

According to the PTI's report, the rally, which is being organised by several Hindu community leaders in Sindh province, will be held on March 30, under the banner of Pakistan Darawer Ittehad, an organisation working for minority rights in the country.

 

 

Chairman of Pakistan Darawer Ittehad Faqir Shiva Kuchi said, "We are expecting thousands from the Hindu community to participate in the rally as the government has turned a blind eye to the abductions, forced conversions and fake marriages of our women and girls,"

 

 

"When this protest rally will be held on March 30, we want everyone to see the issues faced by Hindus and members from other minority communities in the country," he added.

 

 

According to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan's report, around 1,000 girls are forcibly converted to Islam every year. It noted that most of the converted girls belong to the impoverished Hindu community from the Sindh province. Hindus form the biggest minority community in Pakistan.
