Minority rights: Hindus detest ‘forced’ conversions

"We come under threat when we protest against such acts," said AHRO secretary

KARACHI: The All Hindu Rights Organisation (AHRO) has asked the Sindh government to provide security to the Hindu community living across the province, warning that protests would be launched across the country otherwise. While speaking at a press conference held at Karachi Press Club on Sunday, AHRO general-secretary Prof Manohar Lal Jesrani said that it was a conspiracy against his community that forced conversion of Hindu girls still continue. "We come under threat when we protest against such acts," said Prof Jesrani. He said that the Hindu community was feeling isolated, stressing that the government is not providing security to the people and has therefore failed in its responsibility.
