Minority Leaders in Pakistan’s Hyderabad Condemn Quran Desecration
The minority leaders addressed a press conference on Tuesday where they condemned the incident and called for restoring peace in Hyderabad.
They also accused India of trying to portray a negative image of Pakistan by capitalizing on the events of August 21, when unrest ensued across the city over an incident of alleged desecration of the Holy Quran.
They said the Indian government was using the incident to portray Pakistan in a negative light.
“Religious minorities are being well protected by state institutions in Pakistan, whereas the situation is worsening for religious minorities in India,” said G M Parkash.
On Sunday, law enforcement agencies resorted to tear gas shelling and fired into the air in different areas of Hyderabad to disperse the crowds who forced their way into a business center by breaking windowpanes to get hold of the man they accused of sacrilege of the Holy Quran.
