Islamabad: For a long time, a big effort has been started by Pakistan on Saturday, 23 November 2019, with the intention of improving its image on the international table due to the issue of oppression of minorities. A 22-member parliamentary committee has been set up to draft a bill to prevent incidents of forced conversions and to protect the rights of minorities. Muslim-majority Pakistan has been infamous for the persecution of minorities and forcible conversion.
Committee was formed: According to the information received, let us tell you that according to the notification issued from the Senate Secretariat, Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani advised the National Assembly Chairman Asad Kaiser, Leader of the House Shibli Faraj and Leader of Opposition Raja Zafarul Haq After the meeting, the committee has been formed. The committee was also headed by Pakistan's Minister for Religious Affairs Noorul Haque Qadri, Human Rights Minister Shirin Mazari and Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan. Apart from this, Hindu MP Ashok Kumar was also kept in the committee. Other members of the committee include Malik Muhammad Aamir Dogar, Sunila Rath, Jayaprakash, Lalchand, Muhammad Aslam Bhutani, Rana Tanveer Hussain, Dr. Darshan Keshumal Khayal Das, Shagufta Jumani, Ramesh Lal, Naveed Aamir Jeeva and Abdul Wasi. In how many days the committee will make its proposal and the schedule of its meetings has not been announced yet.
Pakistan's disgrace due to several incidents: According to information received from sources, this committee has been formed in Sindh province a few weeks after the incident of kidnapping a Hindu girl and forcibly marrying her by converting to Islam. The investigation, which took place in the headlines last September, has been widely condemned and opposed. In Pakistan, such incidents happen frequently. Due to lack of effective legislation, nothing special could be done against the perpetrators of these incidents.
Let us tell you that in July the Assembly of Sindh unanimously passed a resolution demanding the government to stop the kidnapping of Hindu girls and their forced conversions and action against those involved in such incidents. Earlier, in its annual report, Pakistan Human Rights Commission has informed about the incidents of kidnapping and forcibly converting one thousand Hindu and Christian girls in Sindh province in the last year.
