Resolving minority issues
February 5, 2021
Two major problems non-Muslim minority communities in Pakistan face are directly linked to religious conversion and encroachment of holy sites of worship.
Most of the conversion cases in Pakistan are related to Hindu girls living in Sindh. Such sensitive incidents not only echo in the local media but also receive attention from the international community. However, it seems that my 20-year long tireless struggle to resolve such issues is now seeing some success.
A major breakthrough in recent days has been the visit of Mufti Nauman Naeem, Maulvi Abdul Haq alias Mian Mitho and Pir Ayub Jan Sirhindi to my office in Karachi to condemn the attack on the Terri Temple in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Since these three scholars have been criticized for a long time for their alleged role behind the forced conversion of Hindu girls in Sindh province, I decided to avail the opportunity to discuss this sensitive issue with them.
