The growing religious extremism in the country against religious minorities, especially Christian workers and Hindu Haris, has created a slavery-like situation for them.
Vested interests in the name of religion are violating Islamic laws and the law of the land and social norms and the state is not taking any effort to stop them, said the speakers of a protest demonstration against the killing of a Christian couple at Kot Radha Kirshan and kidnapping of a 12-year old Hindu girl, Anjali, and her forced conversion and marriage in Daharki.
The protest demo was organised by the National Trade Union Federation (NTUF) at the Karachi Press Club (KPC) led by its president Rafiq Baloch and NTUF Sindh chapter general secretary Riaz Abbasi. A large number of labours, women and civil society members were presenting the demonstration.
