Issue of Hindu plight in Pakistan raised in Parliament. Talk to Pakistan, grant work permits to Pakistani Hindus

In Parliament--Tarun Vijay raised issue of Hindu killings in Pakistan . Government must talk to Pakistan about safety of Hindus.

Difficult to cremate their dead and educate kids , Hindus leave Pakistan in large number.

New Delhi, 14th December - Raising the issue of Hindus being tortured and killed in Pakistan in the wake of another killing of a Hindu trader near Multan, yesterday, Shri Tarun Vijay, Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha and National Spokesperson of BJP demanded in Rajya Sabha today that Government of India must talk to Pakistan Govt. immediately showing concern on the killings of Hindus and provide adequate security to Hindus.

He also asked the Govt. to give immediately work permits to the Pakistani Hindus who have taken refuge in Delhi and other cities to protect their lives and honour.

In a Special Mention in Rajya Sabha today Shri Tarun Vijay said that 4 Hindu Doctors were slaughtered on Eid Day this year in Shikarpur City of Pakistan. After that 28 Hindu families comprising of 151 men, women and children somehow escaped from Pakistan and have taken refuge in Delhi. Before that Member of Sindh Assembly Shri Ram Singh Sodha had left Pakistan with his family. Shri Tarun Vijay said that Hindus who have come from Pakistan informed him that they are often not allowed to cremate their dead and the local Muslims put hurdles at the time of last rites complaining that 'burning a dead body spreads stink that is unbearable to them'. The Leader of the Hindu group Shri Arjun Das said that most of their temples can not have stone images and they have to perform puja inside the temple with paper calendars of Hindu Gods and Goddess hung on a wall. He also said that no Hindu organisation is allowed to open minority schools for Hindus to facilitate education as per their values but instead Hindu children are forced to learn and study Islamiyat.

The Hindus from Pakistan told Shri Tarun Vijay that their children are often made targets of mocking at their religion and gods in the schools. Shri Tarun Vijay demanded that Pakistan Govt. should be immediately conveyed about India's concern on the serious human rights violations of Hindus and other minorities including Christians.

Thank you Tarunji for raising this extremely important point in parliament. If India, ie. the birthplace of Hinduism turns a blind eye to the torture of Hindus in Pakistan and elsewhere, then a portion of our civilization would be dead. This issue needs to be acted upon immediately. In fact, all Hindus in Pakistan must be given asylum in India due to their unbearable life conditions. Pakistan is no more a safe country and it is India's duty to protect Hindus residing there in trouble and elsewhere. Thank you for taking up this issue, please do follow it up to the very end.

Regards
Namrata

No other government is harder and more heartless than Indian Government. THey should protest such treatments of Hindus automatically and not waiting for a Member of Parliament to ask them to do it. It is a shameful attitude of neglect.

For long we have been regarded as a religion of lame ducks. we should welcome the Hindus from pakistan with open heart. A TIT FOR TAT tactic would be suitable.Furthermore right to conversion should be totally banned in india.otherwise half of indian hindu also will have same plight as kashmiri pandits.
