Karachi: Atrocities against Hindus continue in Pakistan, with a 50-year-old man from the minority community becoming the latest victim as he has been killed in Sanghar District of occupied-Sindh Province.
Amlakh Bheel has been decapitated in Shahdadpur area of Sanghar District, according to reports.
His killing led to protest by his relatives who demanded arrest of the accused.
Earlier, in December last year, Diya Bheel, a widow, was brutally murdered in the same area but the culprit was never caught or punished.
Hindus in Pakistan, especially in the illegally-occupied Sindh Province, are frequently targeted with an aim of forcing them to convert to Islam.
There have been umpteen cases of Hindu girls, including minors, being abducted by Muslims, who rape them or forcibly convert them to Islam and marry under duress.
At times, Hindus are converted en masse.
One such incident took place in July 2021, when at least 60 Hindus were forcibly converted to Islam in the Malti area of Sindh province in Pakistan.
The converts, including 23 women, belonged to the Bheel community and had been working on the agricultural lands of the former Malti municipal committee chairperson Abdul Rauf Nizamani.
Municipal chairperson Abdul Rauf Nizamani invited them to do so in exchange for protection and economic support.
A video shared by Nizami showed an Islamic cleric making the group of Hindus recite Kalima and ensuring their full-fledged conversion.
In another video, the cleric is seen claiming that it was their recitation of the first-ever Namaz. “The only aim in the life of a Muslim person is to make Allah happy. Then, the purpose of his life will be fulfilled. Only the lives of those, approved by Allah, move forward,” the cleric said to the new converts.
