AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): A Pakistani rights activist Rahat Austin has claimed that as many as 171 Hindu in Sindh province were converted to Islam on Sunday.
Rahat told TOI on Monday that the conversion of Hindu men, women and children was done at a mass conversion ceremony held at madarsa Ahsan-ul-Taleem, Sanghar in Sindh province of Pakistan. A former member of Islamic Ideology Council Noor Ahmad Tashar converted them to Islam, he claimed.
However, Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) leader and member of the National Assembly (MNA) Kheal Das Kohistani, a Hindu, expressed ignorance about the incident, while MNA and patron in chief of Pakistan Hindu Council Ramesh Kumar Vankwani did not pick the phone despite repeated attempts.
Sources here informed that all the Hindus, who were converted to Islam on various allurements, were from Bhil community, which is considered as most vulnerable and marginalised community among the minority communities of Pakistan.
Earlier in June, over a hundred Hindus were converted to Islam in Badin district of Sindh province.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)’s Hindu MNA Lal Chand Malhi said he had also heard the same in the social media but did not confirm the incident.
