According to the unofficial reports, more than 20,000 Muslims have been killed, tortured and displaced by extremist Buddhists in Burma’s Rakhine province, the worst sectarian killing in this part of the world for many years.
The violence had killed 29 people in a day and displaced more than 30,000, said Htein Lin, secretary of the Ministry for Border Affairs.
Around 2,500 houses have been burnt down, Reuters reported on 14th June. Meanwhile, The Telegraph reported on 21st June that more than 80 have been killed in Burma this month.
International organisations, NGOs and human rights organisations remain silent as Myanmar’s government has not yet proposed a solution for the 800,000 Rohingya, who live in desperate conditions that resemble refugee camps and make up one of the largest groups of stateless people in Asia.
The biggest distress comes with the attitude of Pakistan government that has not even condemned the killings of Muslim brothers, helping them being a far cry. The lack of serious concern over the killings of Muslims by the Pakistani government has resulted in much disappointment.
We urge the electronic and print media of our country to sincerely report the most horrible situation going around in the Eastern part of the world and Muslims around the world must pay heed to the call of the suffering Rohingya Muslims and rescue them from oppression.

20,000 killed? You must be out of your mind.
pakistan, saudi arabia malaysia bangladesh and indonesia must call a confrence on it
no. the other way around. Muslims killed more Buddhists while living in Buddhist country.
Killing is the norm of Islam, not in Buddhism. Giving little space for muslims, will be a massive problem one day to give the whole country to them. Are Muslim countries like Saudhi letting other religions to be in their countries?
Even a buddha's image is not allowed.
