ISLAMABAD: The Hindu community in Pakistan on Tuesday held a protest outside the Indian High Commission in Islamabad and demanded an inquiry into the mysterious death of 11 migrants of their community in the Jodhpur city of Rajhastan last year.
At Diplomatic Enclave, the protestors of All Pakistan Hindu Panchayat chanted slogans against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bharatia Janta Party government for their apathy towards the incident.
The members of Hindu community raised slogans of ‘Long Live Pakistan’ and ‘In Modi’s India, even Hindus are not safe’.
Demanding transparent inquiry, they called upon India to share all details and investigation reports with the Hindu community and the government of Pakistan.
The protestors urged the United Nations to take notice of the frequent incidents of extrajudicial killings in India committed against minorities.
Last year, at least 11 Hindu refugees of a family from Pakistan were found dead in Jodhpur district of Rajasthan. The family, which had arrived in India from Pakistan in 2015, was living in Dechu police station area of Lodta village of Jodhpur.
Police also had recovered a suicide note from the spot suggesting that Boduram’s 38-year-old daughter Lakshmi who had trained as a nurse could have injected everyone with poison killing the 11 family members. Strips of Alprazolam were also found at the scene.
Investigators suspect that dinner might have been laced with sleeping pills after which everyone was injected with poison. All of the family members- three women, two men, and five children, had syringe marks on their hands except Lakshmi who had them on her feet, further strengthening the police’s suspicion.
