HYDERABAD, Sept 3: Activists of the Sindh Tarraqi Passand Party (STP) took out a procession on Monday in protest against injustices being committed against the Hindu community in Pakistan.

Carrying placards, banners and party flags, they marched from Old Campus of University of Sindh to the local press club. They shouted anti-government slogans, blaming MNAs and MPAs belonging to the PPP for their alleged involvement in the harassment of Hindus.

Leading the protest, STP leader Muzaffar Kalhoro said that instead of addressing the issues being faced by the community, the government was creating problems for them.

He demanded that Hindu people should be provided protection to end their sense of deprivation. He blamed the government for diverting public attention from the project of Zulfikarabad which was being strongly opposed by people.

He offered support of the STP and other nationalist parties to the Hindu community, saying that the community must play its role in addressing issues of Sindh along with the STP.

He also alleged that Hindu girls were being abducted to change their religion in the interior of Sindh.

Hindus were being threatened to sell their property and close their business. They were also being kidnapped.

Our Dadu correspondent adds: A social organisation held a rally here on Monday in protest against migration of Hindus.

Provincial coordinator of the Interactive Resource Centre Saddar Jan Panhwar, president of Hindu Panchayat Gurmukh Das and religious scholar Sikandar Ali Jhandir, led the protest.

Addressing the rally, Mr Panhwar said that some 500 Hindus had left for India and other countries for different reasons. Influential persons and tribal chiefs were victimising Hindus in upper Sindh.
