HYDERABAD, Pakistan: August 02, 2013. (Abbas Kassar) A Christian girl resident of Padri Goth ( Priest village) near Sanghar city of Sindh was being hounded by an influential landlord of Sanghar who was forcing her to have illicit relations or marriage otherwise he would kill her and her whole family while the girl was running to save life from Danghar to Karachi to Lahore and to (now)Hyderabad. Addressing press conference along with her aunt and a local lawyer Ramesh Kumar Gupta, she narrated 3 years pathos she was suffering due to harassment and threats of landlord Ghulam Muhammad Kori of Snaghar. She narrated that her father was a driver and they were 7 sisters and brothers. She was staff nurse at Chiniot hospital Korangi,Karachi but the landlord Ghulam Muhammad hounded her there and tried to kidnap her. She left job due to fear of this man and remained out of job for 2 years. She said when she joined Liaquat National Hospital Karachi in 2012 this man reached there and started to harass her with threat to make life of her and her family like hell. She said on 26 May on the occasion of her Sagai at her village Padri Goth, Ghualm Muhammad brought police who picked up her father and brothers and left them only when they agreed to cancel her Sagai( engagement).

She also said that now this man has filed a case of robbery against her She demanded from human rights bodies, president, prime minister, Sindh chief minister, IG and DIG concerned to help her get rid of this man who was terrorizing her and her family.
It may be mentioned here that the girls belonging to minority Hindu and Christian community were being kidnapped, converted and then married to Muslim men since last many years but no authority in Pakistan was there to stop this violence against minorities. Thousands of Hindu families have migrated to India to find safer place to live with honor and dignity as they consider Pakistan difficult land to live for minorities. Kishan Chand Parwani former MNA had said few months ago that more than 50,000 Hindus had migrated to India to save honor of their women and girls under threat of conversion. Two weeks back leaders of
Pakistani Christians Dr. Nazir Bhatti chairman of Pakistan Christian Congress had also raised issue with Pakistan authorities of violence against Hindus and Christians. But so far no action has been taken by Pakistan authorities to stop violence against minorities.
