A 15-year-old Hindu girl was kidnapped in Pakistan's Sindh province. The incident took place in Hyderabad town. Just a few days ago, three Hindu women were kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam.

 

According to the family members of the kidnapped girl, Chandra Mehraj was abducted from the Fateh Chowk area of ​​Hyderabad. She was returning home at that time. Police have registered a complaint, but the girl has not been traced. This incident proves that the repression of minority Hindus continues in Pakistan. Earlier on September 24, 14-year-old Meena Meghwar was kidnapped from the Nasarpur area. Another girl was similarly abducted in Mirpur Khas.

 

 

Hindus and other minorities constitute 3.5 percent of Pakistan's population. In this Islamic country, cases of cruelty, violence, and repression are often coming to the fore. But, last year a parliamentary committee rejected the draft bill against forced conversions in the country.

 

In the same city, a Hindu named Ravi Kurmi alleged that his wife Rakhi was abducted and forcibly converted to Islam. On the contrary, the police claimed that Rakhi converted to Islam and married Ahmed Chandio willingly.

 

There is a series of atrocities going on in Pakistan against Hindus. In June, Kareena Kumari testified in court that she was forced to convert to Islam after being kidnapped and married to a Muslim man. Earlier, similar incidents happened with three Hindu girls named Satran Odd, Kavita Bhil, and Anita Bhil.

 

Murdered on refusal to marry

On March 21, a Hindu girl named Pooja Kumari was shot dead outside her house in Sakkhar. She had refused to marry a Pakistani man, due to which this incident took place.

 

No environment of law against conversion

Earlier, the then Minister of Religious Affairs of Pakistan Nurul Haq Qadri had said that there is no atmosphere yet to enact a law against forced conversions. According to the report of the Pak newspaper 'Dawn', the minister even claimed that the law against forced conversions can disturb peace in the country and make minorities more vulnerable.
