The Sindhi Foundation, a Washington-based human rights organization that focuses on the human rights of Sindhis in London [England], Pakistan and elsewhere, announced on Tuesday that it would organize a long march through the streets of London to commemorate the kidnapping of Priya Kumari. A young Hindu girl on 14 June.
A statement from the social organization said that the long march will proceed from 10 Downing Street to the Pakistan High Commission.
The statement said that this long march has been organized in memory of the enforced disappearance of a young girl, Priya Kumari, who was forcibly abducted in Pakistan three years ago.
Sufi Munawwar Laghari, executive director of the Sindhi Foundation, said, “We Sindhi humanitarians, women and men living in London and around the world, have taken to the streets of London to demand justice for Priya with a conscience."Kumari and bring her back home. Priya Kumari was kidnapped three years ago when she was only seven years old."
The statement further claimed that the girl was abducted from near her home in village Sangrar near Sukkur in Sindh province.
"A Hindu girl was abducted near her home while she was serving water to thirsty mourners on the 10th day of Muharram, the day of mourning in memory of Imam Hussain and his companions, in her village Sangarar near Sukkur in Sindh province. Was staying." Read it.The statement further claimed that since then, Priya Kumari is missing, but the highly politicized police in Sindh have miserably failed to recover her, despite being fully aware of the whereabouts of the abducted minor Sindhi Hindu girl.
Pakistan is a signatory of the United Nations General Assembly's Declaration of the Rights of the Child and other international instruments for the protection of children's rights. Still, several children, including Priya Kumari, remain in captivity in Pakistan's Sindh province, Munawwar Laghari said, according to the statement.
Laghari further alleged in the statement that "Priya Kumari's kidnappers belong to the political power corridors; secondly, Priya Kumari belongs to the Sindhi Hindu community whose daughters are victims of forced conversion to Islam."
The Executive Director of Sindhi Foundation said that there are hundreds of Sindhi-Hindu girls and women in Sindh who are forcibly converted every day, which continues unabated."We are therefore taking to the streets and knocking on the doors of power in London to convince the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and his government to persuade Pakistan to bring abducted Priya Kumari home," the statement said.
Sufi Munawar Laghari further announced that he would submit a memorandum to the UK Prime Minister and the staff of the Pakistani High Commissioner regarding the plight of Priya Kumari and her parents.
