[Watch] ‘Not Getting Ration Or Govt Help As We Are Minority’: Pakistani Hindu In Sindh On Lockdown Woes

Amid coronavirus pandemic in Pakistan, the Hindus and Christian minorities of the country are being deprived of the food supplies by the authorities, saying they are meant for Muslims, reports ANI.

“Authorities are not helping us during the lockdown, the ration is also not being provided to us because we are part of a minority community," a Hindu man said.

According to the report, as the shops across the Sindh province are shut to curb the spread of the Coronavirus, the people of minority communities have to gather at Karachi’s Rehrri Ghoth to receive food supplies and daily essentials. However, those belonging to Hindu community are told to go back since the rations are only meant for Muslims.

Hindus in Pakistan form a 4 per cent of the country's population. The community is subjected to rampant discrimination and are often denied basic human rights.

Similarly, the people of Christian community are also facing problems due to the lockdown as they do not have money to buy food and authorities are indifferent to their woes.
