पाकिस्तान के हैदराबाद में हिंदू समुदाय ने किया विरोध प्रदर्शन

Hindu community protests in Pakistan's Hyderabad

The Hindu community in New Aliabad Colony in Pakistan's Hyderabad staged a protest in front of the Hyderabad Press Club and later in front of the SSP office, expressing outrage over the alleged attack on the Ramapir Hindu temple, The Express Tribune reported. The protest, which included women and children, was in response to the lack of arrests in connection with the alleged attack on the Ramapir temple in the colony, in which four people were injured. According to the report, 11 people have been booked under various provisions, including attempt to murder charges, related to the attack on the temple on Halnaka Road, as well as incidents of firing and violence.

An FIR was also registered against Mahesh, Waqar, Sohail Jatoi, Rafi Bangalani and Jamil Ihsan Baledi, among others, at the Hatri police station on a complaint by Shiv Lal Meghwar. The protesters alleged that a religious ceremony was taking place at the Ramapir temple when a fight broke out between some youths of the Hindu community. Later, a group of men from outside the colony also joined the clash. According to the Express Tribune report, more than 10 attackers entered the temple, where they started firing indiscriminately at all the people present for the religious ceremony, men, women and children.

Four people were injured in the clash: Rohit Kumar, Sawai Kumar, Ramesh Kumar and Teso Lai. It is noteworthy that the minority community in Pakistan has been facing persecution for the past several years. Most of them have migrated to other countries for safety. The remaining are facing persecution. In early August, hundreds of people from minority and marginalized communities in Pakistan took out the first 'Minority Rights March' in Karachi's Frere Hall area, advocating for their rights and demanding an end to the practice of forced conversion. According to a Gatestone report, religious minorities in Pakistan, primarily Hindu and Christian women and children, continue to face oppression and persecution, and are at risk of abduction, forced conversion, rape, and being forced into “marriage” to an elderly person.
