Karachi
Dr Khatumal Jeewan, a Pakistan People's Party leader and member provincial assembly, has claimed two Hindu Dalit girls have been kidnapped from Hyderabad.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the PPP lawmaker condemned the alleged kidnapping and urged the concerned authorities to make efforts for immediate recovery of the enslaved girls before they were forced to convert and sign marriage documents under duress.
He said Aneeta Narain and Chanda Hamero were abducted by armed men from Kala Mata temple near fateh chowk and Kali Mori situated in lalu lashari village respectively.
Dr Jeevan said the affected families were in immense pain as though the concerned police stations have registered FIR, but no substantive efforts have taken place for their daughters’ recovery.
He appealed authorities that action should be taken on war footing basis as he feared that the criminal-minded people behind the act would later exploit religious sentiments to frighten the marginalised Hindu community into silence.
