Karachi: July 31, 2016. (PCP) After Muslim mob attack in a rural district in Sindh province which killed one Hindu Youth Sateesh Kumar and injured other Avinash when they were taking tea in a hotel; the Hindu community in Sindh is under fear of more attacks. The Muslim mob attacked Hindus when one Hindu was arrested on accusations of desecrating Quran in second week of July in Ghotki. Hindu community leaders have demanded protection for their lives and properties as communal tensions ran high in the district following Tuesday’s incident. Locals said the suspect, Amar Lal, was a drug addict who lived in a mosque after converting to Islam a few months ago. His mental condition was “unstable”, they said. Some burnt pages of the holy book were found outside an old mosque in Daharki where the emotionally charged protesters on Tuesday held a sit-in, demanding the arrest of the culprit, Dawn reported. The accused was taken into custody and moved to an undisclosed location. Local leaders of religious parties including Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) and Ahle Sunnat wal Jamaat (ASWJ) have demanded “severe punishment” for the accused. Demonstrators in the district burnt tyres, ransacked shops owned by Hindus and clashed with the police.
