Mirpurkhas: 12-Year-Old Hindu Girl Abducted, Forced Religious Conversion, and Marriage A deeply disturbing incident has come to light near Bukhari Farm in the Kot Ghulam Muhammad area of Mirpurkhas District, where a 12-year-old Hindu girl, Laxmi Kolhi, was allegedly abducted, forcibly converted, and married off. According to available information, Parvez Mari, a resident of Bukhari Farm village, allegedly lured the minor girl Laxmi Kolhi and took her to Pir Umar Jan Sarhandi in Samaro. There, after forcibly changing her religion, the girl was married off. Sources also reveal that to conceal the girl’s actual age, her age was falsely recorded as 19 years on the religious conversion certificate. This is not only a blatant violation of the law but also a grave injustice to the impoverished Hindu families of Sindh. This incident comes at a time when child marriage is legally prohibited under the Child Marriage Restraint Act in Sindh. Despite this, groups associated with Sarhandi in Samaro allegedly continue to convert minor Hindu girls and arrange their marriages, which is deeply tragic and unjust. Social activists and leaders representing minority communities have expressed grave concern over the increasing cases of abduction, forced religious conversion, and forced marriages of underage girls, particularly among Hindu and other minority communities in Sindh. Despite existing laws, the lack of effective enforcement has allowed such incidents to continue and even rise. Civil society has demanded that the Sindh government, law enforcement agencies, and human rights organizations take immediate notice of the incident, recover the girl, return her to her family, and take strict legal action against those involved. These incidents have heightened fear and insecurity among minority communities in Sindh, which is an extremely worrying situation. #StopConversions #SaveHinduDaughters #StopChildMarriage #StopChildAbduction @BBhuttoZardari @AseefaBZ @BakhtawarBZ @AyazLatifPalijo @BBCUrdu @sindhinfodepart @SindhPoliceDMC @UN

The Pakistan Darawar Ittehad @PItehad has announced another strong protest against the Sindh government for failing to implement the 17-point agenda that was previously presented to address the serious issues faced by minority communities. This agenda particularly highlighted the abduction of Sindhi Hindu minority girls, forced religious conversions, and forced marriages, along with several other important issues affecting minorities. Unfortunately, no effective action has been taken by the government on these demands so far. Leaders of Pakistan Darawar Ittehad stated that incidents of abduction and forced conversion of Hindu minority girls in Sindh are increasing day by day, creating fear and insecurity within the minority community. Many families have reported that their daughters are abducted and later forced to convert their religion and marry against their will, yet meaningful steps to ensure justice for the affected families are still not visible. The leaders further said that Pakistan Darawar Ittehad had earlier presented a 17-point agenda to the Sindh government which included demands for ensuring the protection of minorities, preventing incidents of forced religious conversions, recovery of abducted girls, protection of minority places of worship, implementation of the minority job quota, and other fundamental rights. However, there has been no serious progress on these demands. In view of this situation, Pakistan Darawar Ittehad has announced that if the government does not take immediate and practical steps to address these issues, a large protest sit-in will once again be held in front of the Sindh Assembly in April with thousands of participants. Members of the minority community from different cities of Sindh will participate in the protest, along with human rights activists and representatives of civil society. The leaders emphasized that the protest will remain peaceful and its purpose is to draw the attention of the government and relevant institutions to the serious issues faced by minorities. Pakistan Darawar Ittehad demands that the government ensure the protection of minority communities and take strict and effective measures to stop the abduction and forced conversion of Sindhi Hindu girls. Pakistan Darawar Ittehad has made it clear that their struggle will continue until minorities are provided justice, protection, and equal rights. #MinorityRights #StopForcedConversions #SaveHinduGirls #SaveHinduDaughters #Sindh @BBhuttoZardari @AseefaBZ @BakhtawarBZ @ZiaLanjar @SyedNasirHShah @sardarshah1 @Qasimsoomro @SyZulfiqarShah @DrShamSAdvani @AyazLatifPalijo @VeengasJ @SindhuSorath @sindhinfodepart @usconsulatekhi @usembislamabad @StateDept @nchrofficial @UN_HRC
Pakistan Darawar Ittehad Announces Protest Sit-in Outside Sindh Assembly Over Minority Issues Pakistan Darawar Ittehad has announced that it will stage another protest sit-in in front of the Sindh Assembly in April due to the Sindh government's failure to implement the 17-point agenda presented by the organization, the continued neglect by the Provincial Minister for Minority Affairs Dr. Shyam Sunder, and the ongoing serious issues faced by minority communities in Sindh. Chairman of Pakistan Darawar Ittehad, Faqir Shiva Kachhi, in his statement said that Hindus and other minority communities in Sindh are facing several critical problems. These include the increasing incidents of abduction and forced religious conversion of underage Hindu girls, lack of transparency in the distribution of minority funds, inadequate protection for minority communities, and the failure of minority representatives to effectively raise and address these issues. He stated that Pakistan Darawar Ittehad had previously presented a 17-point agenda to the Sindh government, which included demands related to the protection of minorities, safeguarding their basic rights, and ensuring justice. However, he expressed regret that the government has so far failed to make any serious progress on implementing this agenda. Faqir Shiva Kachhi further said that the Provincial Minister for Minority Affairs, Dr. Shyam Sunder, has also continuously ignored the demands and concerns raised by Pakistan Darawar Ittehad, which has created deep concern within the minority community. He warned that if the government does not take the issues of minorities seriously and resolve them, Pakistan Darawar Ittehad will launch a strong protest movement along with minority communities across the country. He announced that in order to protect minority rights and draw the government’s attention to these issues, Pakistan Darawar Ittehad will hold another protest sit-in outside the Sindh Assembly in April, where a large number of minority community members, social activists, and women are expected to participate. The purpose of the protest is to pressure the Sindh government to take practical steps to resolve the problems faced by minorities. Pakistan Darawar Ittehad has demanded that the Sindh government immediately implement the 17-point agenda, take effective measures to resolve the issues faced by minority communities, and ensure the protection of minorities’ lives, property, and religious freedom. @BBhuttoZardari @DrShamSAdvani @BakhtawarBZ @AseefaBZ @ZiaLanjar @sardarshah1 @sharjeelinam @sindhinfodepart @HomeSindh @SindhPoliceDMC @OfficialDGISPR @PItehad @GovtofPakistan @OfficialDGISPR

Speaking to the media on the occasion, Chairman Pakistan Darawar Ittehad Faqir Shiva Kachhi said that women in many parts of the country, including Sindh, are still deprived of their basic rights. He stated that it is extremely unfortunate that women and underage girls are being killed every day in the name of Karo Kari, which is a serious crime against humanity. He further said that domestic violence, harassment, lack of access to education, forced marriages, workplace discrimination, and social injustice are also major issues that require immediate action from the government. He added that the incidents of abduction and forced religious conversion of minority girls are particularly alarming, and strong legislation along with practical measures is necessary to stop such crimes. He emphasized that International Women’s Day is not just a day of celebration, but a day to renew commitment to the rights, dignity, and protection of women. Social leader Sonia Kachhi in her speech said that providing women with education, healthcare, employment opportunities, and social protection is the need of the time. If women are empowered, not only families but the entire society can progress. Leaders and citizens participating in the rally demanded that the government take strict legal action to stop violence against women, honor killings, domestic abuse, abduction of minority girls, and forced religious conversions, and ensure full protection for women. The rally concluded in front of Mirpurkhas Press Club, where leaders reaffirmed their commitment to continue the collective struggle for women’s rights and equality.
