Amritsar (Dawarka Nath Rana): Human Rights Protection Council Amritsar President Praveen Sehgal, while addressing the media, strongly condemned the reported atrocities against minorities in Pakistan’s Sindh province.
He highlighted a disturbing case involving the alleged abduction, forced religious conversion, and marriage of a minor Hindu girl, raising serious concerns about the safety of Hindu and Christian community girls in the region. According to reports, a Class 9 student named Pooja was allegedly kidnapped, forcibly converted to Islam, renamed “Dua Fatima,” and later married.
The incident has once again brought international attention to the condition of religious minorities in Pakistan. Experts from the United Nations have also recently expressed deep concern over such cases and emphasized the need for a fair and impartial investigation.
Meanwhile, security agencies in Pakistan have reportedly arrested several militants linked to Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and recovered a large cache of weapons and ammunition.
Reports suggest that crime rates in Sindh continue to rise, with an increase in cases of killings and violence. Karachi is being seen as a major hotspot amid the growing law and order concerns. Given the current situation, efforts by the Pakistani government are being viewed as insufficient to curb crime and terrorism, leading to an atmosphere of fear and insecurity among citizens.
