AMRITSAR: Following the abduction and forcible conversion of a 15-year-old Hindu girl, the minority Hindu community of

staged a demonstration in

in

This was followed by another video related to Dargah Amroti Sharif, justifying the girl embracing Islam.

Sources said that Ali has four children from two wives whom he had left sometimes back. The adducted teenager is the eldest of the four children of a pharmacy owner.

Red-flagging the issue of Hindus’ security, Ravi Dawani of APHP said if nothing is done they would be forced to move out for the safety of their children. The minority community is raising global awareness about the issue on social media. The APHP has also released a list of new conversion cases of minority girls in Pakistan in which the 15-year-old teenager is the 50th Hindu girl to have been abducted and forcibly converted.

On January 17, India had summoned a senior official of Pakistan High Commission to lodge a protest on the forcible conversions of minor girls.

A day before the abduction of this teenager on January 14 two more Hindu girls were similarly abducted from Umar Village in Tharparkar of Sindh province and conversion.

In the recent past, a Sikh girl from

town of Pakistan was allegedly abducted by a local Muslim youth Mohammad Hassan and married to him before camera. The incident had brought both the minority Sikh community of Nankana Sahib and Muslims on the brink of clash and led to an attack on the historic Gurdwara Nankana Sahib.
