Islamabad: The reality of the condition of minorities in Pakistan, which became an Islamic nation after separating from India in 1947, is not hidden from anyone. Incidents like kidnapping, forced conversion, and forced marriage of minority girls have become common in the neighbouring country, and in most of these cases, the police are also seen standing with the accused. How minorities in Pakistan are pressured to become Muslims—a hallmark of this—has come to the fore from the neighbouring country. In fact, Pakistan's Hindu MP, Danish Kumar, has said in Parliament that fellow MPs pressure him to convert to Islam and become a Muslim. Danish also said, 'Those who ask me to become a Muslim, first convert the profiteers into Muslims, then preach to me.'

Let us tell you that the human rights experts of the United Nations have also expressed concern about the condition of minorities in Pakistan. In January of this year, United Nations (UN) experts said that kidnapping, forced marriage, and forced conversion of minor girls are on the rise in Pakistan. Necessary steps should be taken to stop this. A team of UN human rights experts said, 'We are deeply saddened to hear that girls as young as 13 are being kidnapped from their homes. After this, these girls are being trafficked and sent to places far from their homes. Not only this, but girls are being forced to marry men twice their age and convert to Islam. All this is a violation of international human rights law.
UN experts also said, 'We are deeply concerned that these types of marriages and conversions are being carried out by threatening these girls and women or their families with violence.' These experts also expressed dismay over forced conversions in Pakistan and the lack of justice for minority victim families.
