No end to atrocities against minorities in Pakistan: Hindu woman farm worker brutally beaten, gang-raped in front of her family

New Delhi, Oct 11: It seems like Pakistan who criticizes India for so-called human rights violations should look in and reflect upon themselves before pointing fingers. In yet another atrocity against minorities in Pakistan, a Hindu female farm worker was beaten and gang-raped in Pakistan by the farm owner and goons amid the chaos that has been unleashed due to the deadliest floods.

 

 

 

Kusum Bai, who is farm labourer in Bahawalpur city of Lahinde Punjab and wife of Ganga Ram was brutally beaten up by her employer when she went to collect her wages from the landlord Muhammad Akram.

 

The next morning, Akram and six of his accomplices forcibly entered her house and after tying her family members with ropes, disrobed and then brutally gang-raped her in front of her family, reported local media. The victim's family has alleged they have been threatened that they would kill her and the family if they registered a police complaint.

 

However, Kusum and her family on Monday went to Bahawalpur City Police Station which refused to entertain their complaint stating that Akram has several strong political connections and knows a number of senior officers, reported local media.

 

 

Despite the repeated claims by the Pakistani government on the safety and security of Hindus and other minorities in the country, unabated brutal attacks by Muslim radicals and feudal landlords on the minority Hindu community there are continuously being committed at a very alarming pace.

 

The recent spate of crimes against the Hindus in Pakistan hollows the government's claims that it has made adequate security arrangements for minorities in the country. Hindus, a minority in the Islamic country of Pakistan, are frequently targeted with hatred, kidnappings, rapes, forced marriages, and death.
