Jammu, July 14: Expressing concern over recent attack on Hindu minority in Pakistan’s southern Sindh province, VHP today requested External Affairs Minister S M Krishna, who is on a three-day visit to that country, to raise the matter with Pakistani authorities.
“We expect our External Affairs Minister to take up the issue of attack on Hindus in Sindh province with his Pakistani counterpart,” president of Jammu and Kashmir unit of VHP Ramakant Dubey told reporters here.
Krishna should also take up the issue of decrease of Hindu population in Pakistan, he said.
It is unfortunate that the Hindu population in Pakistan has shrunk to nine lakh from 90 lakh in 1947, he said, adding that Krishna should ask Pakistan what steps it has taken to protect the Hindus in the country.
