Pakistan: 100 insecure Hindu families migrate to India

One hundred Hindu families have migrated to India due to rise in abduction for ransom cases. According to sources, these families had been residing in different areas of Balochistan and Sindh including Jackobabad, Khuzdar, Osta Muhammad for centuries. They had been victims of abduction and other crimes time and again. Scared by these atrocities, more than 500 people have migrated to India leaving their mercantile activities and sources of income at the mercy of looters and plunders. They left by trains to India where they deem themselves more secure. The affected families were of the view that nobody is secure in Balochistan. “Although, we belong to weak section of the society; we would not like to leave our houses but circumstances have compelled us to do so for security and survival of our lives,” an affected Hindu said.
