Are we living in an illusion or what! i am totally in favor of fair treatment of minorities in every muslim country and demand the same for muslims living in non muslim countries. Irony however remains that hindus ill treat hindus in india and muslims ddo the same for muslims in Pakistan

Thanks for publishing it Dawn.
Shame on Indian media where noone bothered to publish it! Dawn is a truly secular and probably best media organization in the Indian sub-continent.

A nation is measured by how it treats it's weakest and poorest.

Nothing reported in Indian Media. Anyway, unless they are planning on a return, better forget Pakistan & UN, stop crying and instead start pressuring the Indian Govt to settle them here. I am sure their plea will be considered on compassionate ground. If India can't accomodate a persecuted Hindu, who in the World can. But beyond religious freedom & safety of their life & belongings, I don't think India can offer much. They will have to shape their destiny all by themselves (hardwork & intelligence can come in handy).

again it shows how vague are these VHP,BJP,Bajrang etc,the so-called right wing hindutava parties!
Be it Pakistan,India,UK,USA or wherever,no one stands beside the poor, weaker section. this is the reality.
Thanks a lot to the Dawn team for bringing this up.At least it's an eye opener to our Indian media

Jennifer, if Hindus belong to India, then (Indian) Muslims belong to Pakistan. Have you considered the dangerous implication of your statement. If Indian Muslims are transferred to Pakistan, its population would double and the country would go bankrupt. Surely, you did not mean what you said.

There is no matter of minority or majority in Pakistan. All poors whether they are Hindu or Muslim, they are always in nuisance and difficulties. They are always living hand to mouth, there is no justice for poors. If a Hindu is wealthy he can purchase many parliamentarians in Pakistan. If a Hindu can open a Wine Shop in a Muslim neighbourhood, police and court will support him because he pays for. If a poor Muslim goes to a govt. hospital, he will not be attended seriously while the medicines are already sold by the so called Muslim staff there. We Pakistanis are already living under the Rule of Jungle.

I thank to DAWN for publishing this news with photographs.Time and again DAWN has proved its secular vision which reflected in the paper and site. The team of DAWN have straight and strong backbones which lapses most of the news papers in the sub-continent. I like to read DAWN because I think DAWN try to publish news on the basis of truth and reality.
