Talking to APP before proceeding to Sukkur on Saturday to enquire about the problems of Hindu community, Senator Moula Bux Chandio said that President Asif Ali Zardari had taken serious notice of such negative propaganda and formed a parliamentary committee under his supervision to probe into the facts of alleged migration of Hindu community from Pakistan. He said that during talks with some of the representatives of Hindu community, the initial findings have been revealed the fact that some Hindu families have left to India for "Yatira" of their holy places, however, some NGOs and a group of media have started posing it as migration from Pakistan following injustices, being committed with them allegedly.
The reports of migration of Hindu community are being propagated without any research from media, the minister said and added that Hindu families who left India for "Yatira" of their holy places have also shown surprised by learning the news about their migration from Pakistan.
The minister agreed the facts of kidnapping of numbers of traders of Hindu community and marriages of Hindu girls with Muslims in Sindh, but said that Muslims are also experiencing such situation in some areas of the province due to law and order situation.
