Karachi students to form human chain outside temple to protect Hindus celebrating Holi

[Gazi]

I hope Hindus realize that Interior Part of Pakistan are not good for them instead they should give a chance to Karachi instead of leaving for India without considering any other choice. There are lot of Hindus who have done a good job and are living better lives then they are living in other parts of Pakistan.

KARACHI: A day after Sindh University students from the Hindu community were rounded up for celebrating Holi, the National Student Federation is set to display a heart-rending gesture to show solidarity with the minority community.

The student organisation will form a human shield outside Swami Narayan Temple, Light House, in Karachi as people celebrate Holi at the grand temple.

“If the State cannot provide protection to minority communities, the public has to take a stand,” Central Organiser NSF Khurram Ali told The Express Tribune.

Amid increasing cases of violence and lack of security against their community, many Hindu families from Balochistan and Sindh have decided to migrate to India.

“Previously, members of minority communities used to come out and protest alone but with so much intolerance in society, the general public needs to join minority communities,” Khurram said.

“This way, all religious groups will stand united and show their dissent against the state.”

Yesterday, Holi celebrations were disrupted at the Sindh University when around a dozen students marking the festival were allegedly roughed up by the varsity’s private security guards with police having to be called in.

Associate Professor Amar Sindhu, who heads the philosophy department, told The Express Tribune that a couple of boys, one of whom had had his shirt torn, came to her complaining about how they had been roughed up. Under the impression that the guards and police may have stopped the students from celebrating Holi, she spoke to the varsity’s security chief Ghulam Nabi Kaka.

Holi, the festival of colours, is a riotous celebration of the coming of spring and falls on the day after full moon annually in March. Revellers spray coloured powder and water on each other with great gusto, whilst adults extend the hand of peace.

Here are some pictures of Holi being celebrated in different parts of the country:

Sind is a different story all together. Like we have UP/Bihar compared to Pakistan, you have Sind compared to India in someway or the other.

Positive work, plausible.
Those who have problems with this should consider migrating to Islamic State and start living under caliphate.

Good job...

Great gesture on the part of Pakistani students!

These are students from Karachi probably from Liberal families. You won't see that happening in Islamabad. Islamabadis are full wanna be Arabs.

Anti-Pakistani agenda? No. Anti Mullah agenda. Yes.

And who is Uncle Tom? Why bring your uncle in this conversation?

The Hindus or any other religion followers are as good patriotic Pakistanies as Muslims are, never had a doubt and never will. They have full right like any other ordinary pakistani to celebrate whatever they want. Unfortunately people like zarvan are one small example in our society so as anywhere else.

 

[prashantazazel]

wow. Is this Pakistan? Good to hear guys.
btw, zarvan has made a positive comment for the first time. Why is everyone opposing him?

 

[SHAMK9]

Looks so much fun, would join them if i could.

 

[Star Wars]

Brilliant !! Its these small token acts which will finally fix our societies...

 

[Indian_Devil]

Great... this will strengthen unity of Pakistan and also present pakistan as a successful multi ethnic state to the world. .

 

[Burhan Wani]

Similar effort is required at Muharram processions and gatherings. BTW respect.
