The news of two Hindu sisters who were alleged to be forcibly converted to Islam and hitched to Muslim men in Sindh’s Ghotki district has been creating buzz over social media over the past weekend. Although the case has been filedÂ in the Islamabad High Court, India’s Minister of External affairs, Sushma Swaraj took to TwitterÂ and inquired Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry about the details of the incident. On Monday, Mawra Hocane also responded to the two ministers, raising pertinent questions.

I have asked Indian High Commissioner in Pakistan to send a report on this. @IndiainPakistan

However, it only ended up in a futile argument between the two ministers as Fawad Chaudhry pointed out that it’s Pakistan’s internal issue.

Mam its Pakistin internal issue and rest assure its not Modiâ€™s India where minorities are subjugated its Imran Khanâ€™s Naya Pak where white color of our flag is equally dearer to us.I hope you ll act with same diligence when it comes to rights of Indian Minorities https://t.co/MQC1AnnmGR — Ch Fawad Hussain (@fawadchaudhry) March 24, 2019

Mr.Minister @fawadchaudhry – I only asked for a report from Indian High Commissioner in Islamabad about the kidnapping and forced conversion of two minor Hindu girls to Islam. This was enough to make you jittery. This only shows your guilty conscience. @IndiainPakistan — Chowkidar Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwaraj) March 24, 2019

Madam Minister I am happy that in the Indian administration we have people who care for minority rights in other countries. I sincerely hope that your conscience will allow you to stand up for minorities at home as well. Gujarat and Jammu must weigh heavily on your soul. https://t.co/7D0vMiUI42 — Ch Fawad Hussain (@fawadchaudhry) March 24, 2019

While the two ministers were engaged in a blame game, Mawra Hocane joined the conversation and urged them to focus on the valuable human lives suffering in the process.

“While I attach this video I do realise that Two wrongs DONâ€™T make a right. Letâ€™s not make this about protecting Hindu girls or Muslim families, letâ€™s make this about protecting human lives across the subcontinent, across the world. Itâ€™s not about ministers, itâ€™s about the public! [sic],” Mawra posted.

The actress further asked the people in power to ‘stop inculcating hate’.

Itâ€™s hard to go to sleep while SO MUCH is wrong with the World today. Especially when the People in power instead of finding a solution are giving fuel to the fire . I wonder what will be left for them when they do succeed in their self destructive agendas.

STOP inculcating hate. — MAWRA HOCANE (@MawraHocane) March 24, 2019
