registration of all minority community members in the province, he said the government was looking over the matter, however, he said the Bheel and Kohli communities were often missed out by Nadra officials since they migrate to barrage areas during drought.
Member provincial assembly (MPA) of the Pakistan Muslim League – Functional (PML-F) Nand Kumar Golkani, said the media could play a massive role in highlighting the Minority Rights Bill and another on forced conversions – they are to be tabled in the next assembly session.
Also a PML-F MPA, Nusrat Saher Abbasi said forced conversions of minority community members was one issue which was never properly highlighted by minority representatives sitting in the assemblies. She called for passing minority bills with consensus instead of weightage.
SPRO Executive Director Zahida Detho drew the participants’ attention towards minority members often working as bonded labour, specially in the interior of Sindh. “They were usually on the behest of the land owner, who decides how much and which facilities to be provided to them.”
Zahida said the plight of minority communities had worsened since 72 cases of forced conversion and marriages had been reported only in Sindh.
