Cases of conversion increased in lockdown

Hindu and Christian girls have been heavily converted during the Coronavirus lockdown in Pakistan. Pakistani human rights activists have expressed concern that due to this the feeling of insecurity has also increased rapidly in the minds of minorities. Due to the lax attitude of the police in Imran Khan's government and the lack of strict laws, the fanatics have become more emboldened.

Change of religion of more than 1000 girls every year

According to the human rights organization Movement for Solidarity and Peace (MSP), more than 1000 Christian and Hindu women or girls are abducted in Pakistan every year. After which they are converted and married according to Islamic customs. Most of the victims are in the age group of 12 to 25 years. The human rights body also said that the figure could be higher as most cases are not registered by the police. Most of the girls kidnapped are from the poor since then. Those who do not have any news-takers.

Just another day for religious minorities in Pakistan.
