کوٹ غلام محمد سے ایک اور اغوا اور جبری مذھبی تبدیلی کا کیس۔۔
سندھ میں کوئی ایک دن خالی نہیں جاتا جس دن یہاں بسنے والی اقلیتوں برادری سے کوئی معصوم بچی اغوا نہیں ہوتی.
سندھ کے ہندو امن پسند ھیں ان سے اس طرح کا  ظلم بند کرو۔۔

Another case of abduction and forced conversion to Islam -- from Kot Ghulam Muhammad (Mirpur Khas district, Sindh).
Not a day passes in Sindh when a minor girl from the minority community is not abducted.
The Hindus of Sindh are peace-loving people. Stop committing this atrocity against them.

Almost 100% conversions of underage or 18+ #Hindu girls, be it forced or willful, are taking place for the sake for marriage with a #Muslim boy, not for Islam. The reason is quite obvious as there is no such law which allows interfaith marriages. So, we a need a law to stop this.

Listen to four Pakistani women describing State complicity and complete absence of legal protections for 'Hindus' in Sindh on the issue of abduction, forced conversion and marriages of their minor girls in this YouTube discussion.
One participant (Afia Zia) calls (43:48 min.) for introducing Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Pakistan in order to deal with atrocities against Hindus and other minorities!
She says (42:00 min.) while offence to Islam has universal legitimacy and a special term (‘Islamophobia’) to deal with it, offence to the sentiments of the 'Hindus' has no legitimacy at all, much less any term to describe it. ("Only Islam has the privilege of being offended.")
Another participant (Anis Haroon) says Punjab Governor Salman Taseer's killing for 'blasphemy' has silenced the majority (Muslims) in Pakistan -- no one now has the courage to stand up for the Hindus whose daughters are being stolen on a daily basis.
Amar Sindhu highlights State complicity and "majority chauvinism" (euphemism for Islamic savagery against Kafirs/Mushriks).
Participants: Nazish Brohi (moderator), Amar Sindhu (Assistant Professor, Sindh University), Anis Haroon (Member, National Commission for Human Rights, Pakistan) and Afiya Zia (feminist scholar/activist; Women's Action Forum, Karachi).
