Christian human rights activists ‘briefly detained, tortured’
by police in Faisalabad
by Imran Gabol, Dawn, September 23, 2023:
Two human rights activists visiting Faisalabad from Karachi were allegedly briefly detained and tortured by police, it emerged on Saturday, following which police accused the duo of misbehaviour in its rebuttal.
The incident was raised by lawyer and rights activist Jibran Nasir on Friday in a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter.
In a post about what he dubbed “extremely alarming and condemnable action by Punjab police”, Nasir said two prominent human rights activists from Karachi, Pastor Ghazala Shafique and Luke Victor, were visiting Faisalabad to help Reverend Father Eleazar Sidhu.
Christian priest Sidhu was shot at and injured on September 3, according to the first information report (FIR) of the incident available with Dawn.com. The FIR stated that Sidhu — who served at Myong-Sang Naserth church in Jaranwala tehsil — was returning home from the church in the evening when an unidentified bearded man shot and injured him.
The FIR also mentioned that he was leading prayers in the church on August 28 when someone wrote objectionable religious slogans against him on the outer wall of the church, which were whitewashed by police on his complaint.
A few days prior to the alleged incident, when he went to drop his son off at school, a few bearded people threatened him, saying, “As our written slogans have been deleted from the wall of the church, soon you will also be deleted,” the FIR said.
According to Nasir’s posts on social media, Sidhu was arrested, “unlawfully kept captive by local police and subjected [to] torture, being forced to state that the deadly attack on him after the Jaranwala incident was self-inflicted”.
He alleged that Sidhu was forced into giving a statement that he “shot himself so real culprits could remain safe”….
Pakistan’s prime minister: ‘We are waiting all Hindus
to be persuaded to the enlighten truth of Islam’
This man is the prime minister of Pakistan. What chance do the remaining Hindus in that country have of getting equal justice under the law?
Waiting for all Hindus to be persuaded to convert to Islam
Old tweet of Pakistan’s caretaker PM goes viral
OpIndia, September 24, 2023:
Pakistan, which has a tainted history of persecuting, and discriminating against religious minorities especially the Hindus there, is currently under the rule of caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar ul Haq Kakar. An old post on X (formerly Twitter) of Pakistan’s caretaker PM has now gone viral wherein he said that Muslims are ready to wait for a millennium to see all Hindus get persuaded to convert to Islam.
In a 2020 post (archive), the caretaker prime minister of Pakistan wrote, “We are waiting all Hindus to be persuaded to the enlighten truth of Islam will wait for a millennium no hurry.”
Kakar wrote this in response to an Indian X user who said that Mohammad Ali Jinnah, “Quaid-e-Azam” of Pakistan was a Kafir.
While this coming from a senator who now happens to be the prime minister (caretaker) of a country would have been shocking, since it is the case of Pakistan, such thoughts/desires are not surprising at all. The Pakistani caretaker PM said that he hopes that Hindus are “persuaded” to the truth of Islam.
Although PM Kakar had posted that he along with his co-religionists are ready to wait for Hindus to get drawn to the “truth of Islam”, the pace at which Hindu population has decreased rapidly in Pakistan post-partition, it may not be a long wait before Hindus are wiped out in Pakistan. In the country, girls are regularly being abducted, forcibly converted to Islam and then married off to their abductors….
In India, rather than abduct Hindu girls, although that does happen, Muslim men seduce them until they are ready to marry and then drop the bombshell that they have to convert. It's called Love Jihad, and girls all over India are falling for it.
