In a devastating incident that adds to a distressing trend, 16-year-old Hindu girl Jamna was brutally raped and strangled to death in Kot Ghulam, Pakistan. The relentless attacks on religious minorities, particularly Hindus, continue to paint a grim picture of their safety and security in the country.
The incident sheds light on the precarious situation faced by minority communities in Pakistan, where such heartbreaking news has become an almost daily occurrence. Jamna’s tragic fate serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for concerted efforts to address the plight of minorities and ensure their protection.
However, people around the world continue to turn a blind eye to the ongoing genocide and the relentless targeting of people based on their religious beliefs. Reports of targeted violence, discrimination, and forced conversions have become alarmingly common, creating an atmosphere of fear and insecurity for these communities.
Has any international human rights organisation spoken a word to date over the treatment of minorities in Pakistan? The “activists” who trend #PrayForGaza and keep shouting at the top of their voices for Palestinians do not bother about their own brothers and sisters in Pakistan. Is this because these people are Hindus? Are Hindu lives so cheap and unwanted that no one cares even to say a word?
Jamna’s tragic fate serves as a sombre reminder of the challenges that persist for religious minorities in specific regions. Will their fate continue to be the same, or will change happen? Will the world notice?
