On Wednesday, the state government of Sindh ordered a judicial enquiry into the killing of a Pakistani Hindu girl in a dental college.

This comes after protests in Karachi against the murder of a Sindhi Hindu girl.

Voicing their anger against the Pakistani government, the protestors demanded justice for the deceased girl who was a final year student of Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS).

Many people in the crowd also carried placards and demanded the government to better the law and order situation in the region.

The aggrieved protesters were heard shouting slogans like--"Namrita ko Insaf do", "Won't tolerate hooliganism".

In yet another case highlighting the deplorable conditions of minorities in Pakistan, Chandni was found murdered in her hostel room.

Chandani, who belonged to Ghotki town where a Hindu temple was ransacked recently, was found lying on a charpoy on Tuesday with a piece of cloth tied to her neck while her room was locked from inside.

The police and authorities have tried to downplay the incident by saying that she committed suicide. However, her family has asserted that she was murdered.Her brother, Vishal, who is a medical consultant, said that the preliminary checkup showed that she was murdered.

"It was not a suicide, suicide marks are different, I found cable marks around her neck. There are marks on her hand too. The marks are of cable but her friend had said that she found her with dupatta around her neck," said Vishal Sundar.

When asked whether she was facing some problems, he said, "No there was nothing like that, I myself had talked with her two days back. She was a brilliant student".

Pakistan on several occasions has promised to safeguard the interests of minority communities in the nation. However, rampant attacks on minorities narrate a different story.

In another incident, a first-year medical student, Namrita Chandani, who also belonged to Ghotki town, was found lying on a charpoy on Tuesday with a piece of cloth tied to her neck while her hostel room was locked from inside.

It would also be ironic to note that the incidents come just days after Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi ranted false narratives against India over the so-called human rights violations in Kashmir at the 42nd UN Human Rights Council session in Geneva.

Such incidents have raised a furore in India, with several political leaders across parties asking for action to be taken against the perpetrators.

Pakistan has been condemned internationally for cracking down on the minorities living in the country.

Islamabad is also reportedly discriminating against its religious minorities, which is manifested in various forms of targeted violence, mass murders, extrajudicial killings, abduction, rapes, forced conversion to Islam, etc., making the Pakistani Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Ahmadiyyas, and Shias one of the most persecuted minorities in the region.

Various activists belonging to the Baloch, Pashtuns, and Sindhi communities have been holding protests in Geneva to expose Pakistan over its illegal occupation and suppression of the minorities.
