Hindu members stage protest in Pakistan over forced conversion of Hindu girl

The protest took place in Jacobabad.

The incident remained as another instance of persecution of minorities in the Muslim-dominated South Asian nation.

The protest came as the second hearing in the case of the alleged forced conversion of 15-year-old Mehak Kumari, a Pakistani Hindu girl, was deferred after the judge cancelled it, saying he was unwell, reported Sputnik news agency.

The protesters could be seen holding placards which read: "Mehak Kumari Wants Justice."

Sharing the video of the protest, journalist Ravinder Singh Robin tweeted: "#Breaking;Hindu community in #Jacobabd,Pakistan staged protest after court didn’t recorded statement of minor #HinduGirl #MehakKumari who was allegedly kidnapped, converted to #Islam & married to a Muslim. Pak Rangers sealed the city to stop Hindus to assemble in favour of #Mehak."
