DERA MURAD JAMALI: A woman from the Hindu community was axed to death in the Baba Kot area of Nasirabad district on Wednesday.
Police said that unknown people attacked Zania Kumari in Goth Asif Ali Shah and escaped after the murder. The cause of the attack remains unclear.
Police registered a case against the killers.
Jalo Ram, Kumari’s brother, told reporters that his sister was killed for no reason by “influential people” of the area.
He appealed to the inspector general of police, Balochistan, and SSP, Nasirabad, to take action against the killers and provide security to his family.

Please do not start an indo-Pakistan match. There is no point proving which country is better or worse. Coz in this we loose focus of real issues. It is a ghastly incident which needs too condemned by everyone and there should be action demanded by the local people.

Not many places on earth practice so much intolerance and promote violence. From religious groups to law enforcement agencies and society as a whole. I wonder what and who will ever be able to save this country.

@Hafiz ahmed , Yes friend; Only 1.5% Non-Muslims left. If the reduction of Hindus from 100% to 1.5% is due to peaceful, voluntary conversion, it is acceptable. But, if it is by threat, force and elimination, it is sad.

@McChrist Lets play with numbers. You are including the Muslims of united India in 1947. Furthermore, not all Muslims from what is India today migrated. Only a very few. The percentage is growing because Muslims of India have more offsprings on average than their Hindu counterparts. In present day Pakistan, a similar number of Hindus migrated to India, as the muslims did to Pakistan. But because the percentage of Hindus in present day Pakistan was very less, it drastically reduced the percentage of Hindus now residing into Pakistan. Very few Hindus have moved out of Pakistan after 1955. Hope this helps.

@Om This is a reprehensible act and it appears family personal vendetta rather than religious driven. But Consider this one incident and compare it to thousands of incidents against Muslims in India. Dont compare the regular with the rare.

Dear Pakistanis. I request, if you can not even save your own people, then why don't you send all Hindus and Christians to a safer country. Figures don't lie. Now Hindus are only 1.5% and that is also on papers. May be they are only 1%. Just get rid of them and become 100% Muslim country. Then your land will be land of Pure. All will be treated equally and everyone will live peacefully.
