In Pakistan’s southern province of Sindh, a Hindu girl was kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam. This led President Asif Ali Zardari to investigate the matter further.
The Hindu girl was kidnapped from Mirpur Mathelo in Ghotki district.
Once the president was informed of the issue he requested that a report be made by the government in addition to transparent and expeditious investigations. He requested that action be taken in accordance with the law regardless of any influences that try to deter the direction of the investigation. Anyone involved in any way to the criminal activity was to be interrogated.
Sindh has a minority Hindu population. Hindu minorities are the largest group of minorities in Pakistan and make up of about 5 percent of the total population of the country.
Studies have indicated that at least 25 Hindu girls are kidnapped by extremists every month in Pakistan, with little to know help by authorities.
