Pakistan Hindus protest over minor’s girl abduction, forced conversion

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

Karachi: A legislator of Pakistan’s Hindu minority on Saturday warned of the forced conversion of a minor girl, who was kidnapped in southern part of the country, causing anger among the community and dealing a blow to the interfaith policy of the government.
Dr Ramesh Kumar Vankwani, who is the member of Pakistan’s National Assembly, on Saturday told the media that Angeli, a 13-year-old Hindu girl, was kidnapped last week from Dharki town in southern Sindh province.

He further said that the kidnappers, including a person named “Siyal”, in connivance with a local politician, were keeping her in captivity at a madrasa or religious seminary and forcing her to abandon her religion.

“It is against the principles of interfaith harmony and a grossly illegal act,” said Vankwani, who also is the patron in chief of Pakistan Hindu Council.

The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC), quoting Hindu Panchayat, said that on an average some 20 girls are abducted per month and forced to convert to Islam and the role of government functionaries, police and the judiciary remains partial.

In much publicised past cases of kidnapping and conversion, two Hindu women, Rinkle Kumar and Dr Lata, in 2011 were ordered to live with their Muslim husbands after a protracted dispute by their families and the community, who claimed that they were abducted and forcibly converted to Islam.

Vankwani said that the state institutions were unable to provide security and failed to protect the minorities and that failure itself was a violation of the constitution of Pakistan.

He further said that annually 5,000 Hindu citizens were being forced to migrate to other countries according the Council study.
The Hindu leader said that he had raised the issue in the National Assembly and the deputy speaker of the Assembly had referred the issue to the standing committee on law and human rights.

WOH!!what happened to land of pure!Once I thought Hindus are the pure evil!!

 

[DesiGuy]

Its nothing new...everybody know that. But its good thing they are migrating to other countries.

 

[TejasMk3]

This is actually a daily occurrence in Pak. the Pak members who talk about secularism etc in India will conveniently look the other way when things like this happens, or shias/other muslim communities are blasted to bits. Pathetic hypocrites.

 

[SarthakGanguly]

Silver lining - They are leaving the country in droves.

 

[StormShadow]

Pakistani hindus should migrate to India or another country ASAP. Else they will be bringing it upon themselves.

of government functionaries, police and the judiciary remains partial.

They'll be lynched in public if they try otherwise. Salman Taseer is testament(for all the wrong reasons) that you can literally rape a woman under the guise of Islam and the country's laws will be helpless to say anything to you.
Not because that there is no "Silent" majority.. but because the extremist minority is not 50000 or 100000.. but closer to 5 million.

Well it's truly sad. But why can't for once people just forget religion and look people as humans. Why can't they just leave the already ever decreasing population of minority alone. They are not radicalizing their beliefs and forcing it down others throat. They are just going about their business. U can say that Hindus are evil in India oppressing minorities and can come up with a truck full of examples, but why are doing the same?? Aren't u suppose to be Jinnah's Dream Pakistan ?? We Indian's have defects, we do not deny. But here the numbers of minorities are rising or atleast stable. Why is that not the case with Pakistan ?? Though a religious minority, but they are Pakistani at the end of the day. Dose it matter if she is hindu or muslim ??? She will just bring more colors of variety in your already vivid culture. Embrace it.

Sometimes I have hope for Pakistan sometimes I loose it. After initial 10 15 years Pakistan deviated from its path. And thus we see current scenario. Thank you.

Thanks for the heads up man. I know that it's coming but I am just trying to point at the elephant in the room. But I still have faith in them. After all without faith we do not have anything to hold on to.

Forced conversions are terrible.

should be banned.

But you also must remember that love marriages in our society are mislabeled as "abductions" by either one or both the parents of the couple.


This problem exists if the girl or the boy happen to be from poorer family or family of different religion/ sect
and thus frowned upon by the parents.

So make sure you get your facts before jumping on this as a pure religious cr@p.

Thank you

not a good advice.

do you go and close all your bank accounts the day one bank gets robbed.

If that was the $tupid case, everyone would be keeping money under mattress.

Its nothing new...everybody know that. But its good thing they are migrating to other countries.

Care to list how many hindu girls were married off to Muslim boys in the last 5 years.

May be you will say "one is too many".

But be realistic and tell me if you know the numbers.

less than 10
less than 50
less than 100
less than 500
less than 1000


Thank you
