Yes, It's not Muslim vs Hindu, It's the usual Rich vs Poor, Housing Society owners vs Kachi Basti wala

But them being Hindu (;a minority) is actually going to get them a lot of support among Human Rights activists and on National/Social Media.

Yes...

And why not i say

This is wrong, you can't just expect people to evacuate their homes. It's their right and place of residence. If it was given to them by authorities then compensation and other living arrangements should be in place.

 

[punit]

pakistani hindus are our equals and we don't kill them as a rule....yes there are nutters in every community but I am talking general here. in India however you kill minorities as a rule with trumped up charges.
now that legals are involved even though the Hindus have lived on this land for 30 years it depends whos land it is.
on the chawal road they are widening the highway and people had encroached on government land building houses and markets. guess what they were all muslims and had their dwellings destroyed.

but we are uncivilised pagans. why the faithfuls are targeting a tiny minority !

So much for the best pals of India Dalits and Indian Oppressed Kashmiri. About time India starts putting these matters in front of UNHRC. Or is a new 'Bangladesh' is fomenting within Pakistan?

 

[Counterpunch]

Well if its government's land illegally occupied by them then its right step what has religeon to do with it , they have to prove that this allotted to them .

This is the issue. They would rally the media and the NGOs to their side alleging abuse. Media will only keep showing their side of the story. There is no story if illegally occupied land is justifiably vacated

 

[kris]

many such settlements are illegal and on grabbed land. has nothing to do with occupiers being hindu.

Ahh, they just get purified by conversion

LAHORE: Hindu community of Haroonabad area has been asked to vacate their houses by local administration. This is allegedly being done due to pressure from owners of a housing scheme. They want to build front gate of housing scheme by demolishing the houses of Hindus, who have been living there for last three decades.



A protest demonstration was held on Thursday in Haroonabad to urge the Punjab government to take action in this regard and to stop the local administration from getting their houses vacated.

It is pertinent to mention here that the Assistant Commissioner of District Haroonabad Anjum Zehra issued notices to dozens of Hindu families living in Haroonabad, a tehsil of Bahawalnagar district, to vacate their homes by June 28.

According to notification copy which is available with The Nation the residents of Chak 72/4R have been addressed ‘…you people have been living here at Jarnali Sarak (The Grand Trunk Road) illegally for a long time and it has been notified on June 13, 2017 that these houses will be vacated because you are illegal occupants of this property.”

“In other case the government property will be vacated with government’s force,” the notification said.

Daas Ram a resident of Chak 72/R told The Nation on phone that we were facing the wrath of housing society owners who want to demolish their houses. He alleged administration with an under hand agreement with housing society wants to demolish the houses.

Leader of the Pakistan Muslim League (Z) and MNA from NA-191 (Bahawalnagar-IV) Ijazul Haq said that he will look into the matter and provide complete assistance to people. “These people are living there for quite a long time and we will resolve this matter,” he maintained.

Society of Hindu Balmiki Mandar (SHBM) president (Haroonabad) Harbans Lal Sultani said that the Hindu families had been living in the area for the last 30 years after the Bahawalnagar commissioner allowed them to construct homes at the government's land called 'Jurnaili Murabba' in 1987.

"In 1987, the then Bahawalnagar's commissioner allowed us in writing to settle on the land on an application moved by 69 Hindu families who were employed by local government on contract basis," he added,

"The rest of the paper work for allotment of five marlas to each Hindu family was completed in the tenure of Pakistan People's Party in 1995 when a 'misl' (revenue record of land and property) was made in favour of the Hindu families."

Sultani said that the members of Hindu community built their houses after allotment of land located in Chak number 72-4/R. "However, now the Haroonabad assistant commissioner has issued notices to all Hindu families to vacate their homes."

He called upon the federal government and Punjab Chief Minister Mian Shehbaz Sharif to direct authorities concerned not to get the land vacated.

I hope we can at least welcome them to India. What Pakistan does is less relevant.

There are many countries like Bangladesh fomenting but not in Pakistan this time but rather in Northeast, South, Central and North India. Pakistan will be there as a facilitator this time and to lend a shoulder for comforting that's all.

Don't you read the news?

Dipshits from across the fence thinking a land dispute is some sort of religious crap- typical low life mentality on display
