About 100 Hindu families have migrated to India due to massive increase in cases of abduction, a private TV channel reported on Wednesday. According to the channel’s sources, the families had been residing in various parts of Balochistan and Sindh, including Jacobabad, Khuzdar, Osta Muhammad, for centuries but they have been victims of abduction and other crimes time and again.
Scared by the atrocities, more than 500 people have migrated to India leaving their mercantile activities and sources of income at the mercy of looters and plunderers. They left Pakistan to India by trains, where they deem themselves more secure. The affected families were of the view that nobody was secure in Balochistan anymore. “Although, we belong to a weak section of society; we would not like to leave our houses, but circumstances have compelled us to do so for security and survival of our lives,” an affected Hindu said.
