COVID-19: Food supplies being denied to Hindus in Pakistan, shocking details inside
The coronavirus has created havoc across the globe by killing over 28,000 people and the world is joining hands to fight against the virus. It seems like Pakistan does not take its countrymen seriously and following a practice of religious discrimination in the country. One such shocking case has come to light from Pakistan where a large number of people belonging to the Hindus community were denied to get the daily essential services.
According to the media reports, thousands of people had gathered at Rehrri Goth in Karachi in a bid to get the food supplies and daily essentials, but, unfortunately, they were asked to go back as the ration is only for Muslims not for them.
The Sindh government issued an order to local NGOs and administration to distribute food supplies to daily wage workers and labourers.
As per the reports in ANI, an activist said that the Hindus who reached Rehrri Ghoth to collect the ration were told that food supplies were only for Muslims and Hindus were not eligible for it.
Hindus in Liyari, Sachal Ghoth and other parts of Karachi as well as all over Sindh are being denied a share in government food and rations.
On the other hand, Amjad Ayud Mirza, a political activist appealed to the Indian government to send supplies to Hindus in need in Pakistan via Rajasthan to Sindh while saying that the minorities are facing problems.
He also demanded Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention in a bid to avert a humanitarian crisis in Sindh.
Reportedly, over half a million Hindus are living in the Sindh province of Pakistan.
In Pakistan, 12 deaths have been reported due to the coronavirus and over 1,500 positive cases for COVID 19 reported so far. In view of the further outbreak, the Pakistani government has ordered to close all schools while no restrictions have been imposed on the functioning of hospitals, shops selling food items, food, and medicine manufacturing industries in the country.
