The protestors demand the arrest of the accused and claim that the condition of minority Hindus in Sindh and the whole of Pakistan is vulnerable. They also sought help from the International Human Rights organisation.
As these Sindhi Hindu youths are not only targeted for short-term profits or any personal enmity but for a larger cause and that is conversion, says Shiva Kachhi, a Hindu activist from Sindh, Pakistan.
