Taking serious note, Hindu community has asked the federal government to take immediate steps to protect religious minorities in the country as it is responsibility of the government to provide complete protection to Hindus, Christians and other minorities.
On Monday, private TV channels reported that unidentified assailants gunned down three Hindu brothers — all doctor by profession — and a passerby in Shikarpur, a district in interior Sindh. The slain doctors were identified as Dr Ajit Kumar and his two brothers, Dr Ashok Kumar and Dr Naresh Kumar.
Pakistan Hindu Council patron Dr Ramesh Kumar, a former member of Sindh Assembly, said that this was not the first time when gunmen attacked Hindu community. “What is of concern is that the law enforcement agencies tend to support criminals involved in such acts,” he said.
Soon after the incident, President Asif Ali Zardari sought an immediate report about the attack and asked for immediate arrest of culprits and bringing them to justice. He also instructed MNA Ramesh Lal to proceed to the place of incident and convey his condolences to the bereaved families.
Hindu Sudhar Sabha Pakistan President AmarNath Randhawa and All Pakistan Hindu Rights Movement Chairman Haroon SrabDiyal condemned the brutal killings and appealed to President Asif Zardari, Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Interior Minister Rehman Malik and the Sindh government to take note of the incident.
The TV channels reported that the slaying of Hindus took place in front of a police station on a busy locality in district Shikarpur. Police said personal enmity could be behind the attack. The police had arrested two suspects in the killings and were searching for other culprits.

  1. the is getting worst day by day
    the country is failed to protect the other religions most of the hindus migrated to INDIA bkz of our these kind of extremism

  2. India should ask Pakistan to give back Hindus to India, and in return take all Muslims from India. I wonder whether Indian Hindus are too soft to Muslims in India !

  3. Its their fault they stayed back in such a messed up country. Hindus in pakistan should leave & come to india

  4. It is most deplorable and highly condemned.

    The protection of minorities is the responsibility of the state. Please remember what Quid a Azam said and also remember the design of Pakistan flag. The white strip is for the minority ethnic communities. Their protection comes first than the protection the majority population.

    Could the government first condemn this in the strongest words possible and later take some practical steps. Thank you.

  5. While minorities muslim minorities like sufi's,Ahamadiyas,bahais and others are finding it difficult to survive in Pakistan,Hindus will be attacked becasue of their small numbers,vulnerability and lack of protection by the State.India should take back all Hindus from anywhere in the world if they are threatened just as Israel does for the Jews. the Jews from any part of the world have a legal right to immigrate to Israel. the number of Hindus in Pakistan and is minuscule compared to the millions of illegals who are resident in India enjoying the benefits and privileges of the state

    • india is a secular state not a hindu state. Also Hindus are murdered there too, by other hindus.

      " the number of Hindus in Pakistan and is minuscule compared to the millions of illegals who are resident in India enjoying the benefits and privileges of the state"

      like the hundreds of millions still in poverty? Poverty numbers in India are higher than the 26 poorest african countries COMBINED!

      and you have the gaul to make such a misguided statement, as if Indian citizens enjoy a privileged lifestyle akin to a wealthy gulf emirates or a western European country….

      Get a bit of perspective on the issue, india is still a very poor country when you look at the sheer multitude of its citizens who still live in abject poverty. Its a shame the Indians criticize the pakistanis for building a nuclear deterrent instead of "feeding its people".. well the indians do not just that, but also have a space program, whilst receiving development aid from the british and others.

      • India may be backward,but it is progressing and making lives better for people.It is not regressing .It does not depend on aid any longer and is self sufficient..It is now part of G20 and India with South Africa,Brazil,Russia and China are some of the fastest growing economies in the world and so there is hope and a better life for these citizens.

  6. By such incidents, do Pak-istan really stand by its name or it would be better changing its name to Na-Pakistan?

  7. The most easy thing is to get away by doing anything with the minorities. Even law fails here due to its meaningless interpretations. The word minority itself is abusive which automatically gives rights to the majority. It is totally states failure.
