Sindh home minister Rauf Siddiqui has said current wave of prejudice and persecution of Muslims would come to an end soon. He was speaking at the annual function of a local school on Monday. He said the attitude of the West towards the Muslim community needed change and that would come through making them informed about Muslims and teachings of Islam. He said injustices against Muslims had affected even the United Nations, which seemed helpless in providing relief and protection to Muslims in many parts of the world.
He named a number of countries where persecution of the Muslim community was going on unchecked and all doors of progress had been slammed in their faces.
He quoted from the incidents that were taking place in occupied Kashmir and said the enlightened world had been watching acts of aggression against the Muslim population there.
The minister said the Muslims should unite and forget their petty interest to fight against injustices. "We will have to do it ourselves as nobody from outside would come to our rescue."
He said there should be enlightenment and education among the Muslim communities of the world.
Other speakers on the occasion, prominent among them were Sindh Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Qammar Mansoor and Chancellor of Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology Z.A. Nizami, highlighted the need for extra-curricular activities among students for the development of their personality.
