For Pakistani Hindu community, asylum may be the only option!!:angry:

Tausiq Kumar begins his day with a cup of tea and a phone call to the Indian High Commission in Islamabad. A trader by profession and hailing from the Patel Bagh area of Quetta, Kumar applied for asylum in India after his relative Ramesh was murdered for resisting a kidnapping attempt on February 6.
Even before Ramesh’s killing, says Kumar, there was a palpable fear among the beleaguered Hindu community in Balochistan. He traces the insecurity among 27,000-strong Hindu community as having started only in the last few years and painfully points out that Hindus have generally had their rights respected in the province, even after the Babri Masjid was destroyed in India in 1992.
Ramesh’s killing was the final straw that convinced Kumar he would be better off moving to India. He says, “I first became scared when a priest Maharaj Laxmichand Gujri was kidnapped and never found. He was highly respected in our community and after that we couldn’t ignore what was happening.”
After his relative’s murder, Kumar got in touch with the Indian High Commission, filed his application and waited. A couple of months passed by and he didn’t hear back. So, he decided to come to Islamabad and is now living in a guest house trying to expedite the process. Kumar knows of five people from the town of Mastang, close to Quetta, who have already migrated to India and is hopeful he will be able to move soon.
Although statistics are hard to come by, Saeed Ahmed Khan, the Balochistan director for the federal human rights ministry, says that he knows of more than two dozen Hindu families that are looking to migrate from Balochistan.
Quetta-based journalist Abdul Wahab says that at least 43 Hindus have been kidnapped in Balochistan in the last three years, three of whom were later found dead. He adds that whenever the provincial assembly has debated the issue, parliamentarians have either taken a head-in-the-sand approach to the issue or blamed the intelligence agencies for the kidnappings and killings.
Kumar says Hindus felt safer when Akbar Bugti was alive because he provided religious minorities the protection they needed. He also says that Hindus generally felt safer in the Baloch areas of the province as opposed to the Pakhtun areas.
Now Kumar is spending his meagre earnings in Islamabad trying to leave the country as soon as possible. He says, “I considered moving to a safer part of the country but I don’t know if there is any safe part. I am not sure if it is just criminals who kidnap Hindus for ransom or a hatred for Hindus but I am not safe here.”
 
i very much suspect, BLA terrorists who are funded by the indians are trying to create such nuiscence, but nevertheless the state must provide them protection and find the criminals, these BLAs have made the lives of all balochis and balochistan miserable
 
Balochistan is not even safe for most Muslims

Pakistan government has failed to protect ALL its citizens, whether they are Muslim, Hindu, Christian, Sikh, etc etc. Anyways hope he has fun in india
 
Persecution of minorities in Pakistan is well known! Pakistani Hindus are our brothers in humanity and our countrymen sadly our incompetent authorities are incapable to protect themselves let alone our citizens. I feel his best bet is too move to Karachi due to it having a small Indian influence due to the Muhajir population which i am sure would provide a more favourable environment for himself and his family.

hahaahaha shia............
 
Yes he should move to Karachi because Karachi is a very liberal and open minded city. And also it has a huge population of Hindus and other minorities.
But this kind of persecution will always happen in Pakistan, what can you expect when your own textbooks in school take pride in breaking statues in temples and destroying temples.

But again education and a proper society goes a long way. Just look at Karachi and other parts of Sindh. Hindus and Muslims live like brothers in Sindh.
 
Nepal is also a place to immigrate rather than India. if those Hindus can, they may better of migrating to a developed country. or as usual reach Canada or UK .
