India and Pakistan: Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar said on Friday that India is closely monitoring the atrocities against Hindus and other minorities in Pakistan and raising these issues on international forums. His remarks came in the Lok Sabha during the Question Hour during the ongoing budget session of Parliament. Jaishankar said that concerns about the behavior of minorities in Pakistan have been raised to the United Nations to attract global attention to the matter.
Abduction and conversion
The Foreign Minister said, we keep a close watch on the behavior of minorities in Pakistan. For example, I would like to tell the House that only 10 cases of atrocities against the Hindu community were reported in the month of February. Seven of them were related to kidnapping and forced conversion. Two were related to kidnapping. A police was related to police action against the students celebrating Holi. The Foreign Minister also gave detailed details of violence cases against other minority communities. He said, “There were three incidents related to the Sikh community in Pakistan. In one case a Sikh family was attacked. In the second case, a Sikh family was threatened for reopening an old gurudwara. A case of kidnapping and conversion with a girl from the community also came to light.”
Injustice against Ahmedia and Christian communities
Referring to the injustice against Ahmadiyya and Christian communities in Pakistan, External Affairs Minister Jaishankar said, “There were two cases related to the Ahmadiyya community. In one case, a mosque was sealed and in the other, 40 graves were defiled. There was also a case in which there was a case in which a Christian person, who was allegedly mentally unstable, was accused of blasphemy. Where Indian representatives strongly criticized Pakistan’s human rights record.
Pakistan shelters terrorists
Jaishankar said, “In the month of February, our representative in the United Nations Human Rights Council said that Pakistan is a country where ‘human rights violations, minorities harassment and systematic erosion of democratic values ​​are part of the state policies. The Foreign Minister said,” Pakistan shamelessly shelters the United Nations and does not have a position to serve. Instead, he should focus on providing real rule and justice to his people.
