Pakistan Hindu Council deplores ‘target killings’ of minority citizens

Expresses outrage over rising incidents of violence against minorities

KARACHI:

Pakistan Hindu Council has shown extreme anger over the rising incidents against minorities across the country, terming it ‘barbaric crimes against humanity’.

According to a press release, a PHC Managing Committee was held at PHC House, Karachi in which the current law and order situation and status of several ongoing projects were reviewed.

PHC Patron-in-Chief Dr Ramesh Kumar Vankwani was briefed about the most recent incidents, in which three minority citizens, Dr Birbal eye specialist in Karachi, Dr Dharam Dev Rathi in Hyderabad and Dayal Singh in Peshawar, lost life due to target killings.

“PHC stands with the family members of the deceased and demands higher authorities to punish culprits at any cost,” Dr Vankwani expressed.

According to him, teachings of all religions emphasise to respect each other and in a peaceful society, it is essential to have freedom of faith.

He was of the view that the aim of terrorists behind such horrific attacks is to damage the image of Pakistan in the international community.
