Ajit Parmer | HENB | Karachi | April 3, 2020:: Former Pakistani Hind cricketer Danish Kaneria put up a special request on Twitter on Friday to help marginal minorities including the Hindus under extinction in Pakistan.

Earlier, it has been reported in various social media platforms and forums that the poor and marginalized Pakistani Hindu minorities are in an pathetic situation under Corona Lock down in Pakistan being neglected or deprived of Govt and NGO help+ and services.

Kaneria, the second Hindu cricketer after Anil Dalpat and the seventh non-Muslim cricketer overall, to represent Pakistan in international cricket requested Indian cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh to make a video to help the minorities in Pakistan as the Coronavirus pandemic rages on.

Kaneria, who played 61 Tests & 18 ODIs for Pakistan, took to Twitter to urge his Indian counterparts to do this. He also shared a link through which people can donate to help Pakistan’s minorities+ during this crisis.

This comes after Yuvraj and Harbhajan posted twitter messages, asking people to help former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi’s foundation, which has joined the fight against the Corona pandemic situation in Pakistan also.

Danish Kaneria has raised the issue of Pakistan’s minorities in the past as well to restore their rights and dignity.

Kaneria stoked a controversy in December last year when he alleged a huge mistreatment on him by Pakistan Cricket Board and its long time mentor Javed Miandad towards a minority Hindu cricketer as a course of discrimination and deprivation.
