Human Rights activist Divya Advani voices concern over declining Sindhis in Pakistan
Human Rights activist Divya Advani has voiced concerns over the declining number of Sindhi community members in Pakistan.
Advani said the same community is enjoying all rights in India.
I don't think they (Sindhis) are equally enjoying (rights), because the number of Sindhis are decreasing day by day in Pakistan. In India, they have flourished and are enjoying rights. As per the media, the Sindhi population has become very small in Pakistan. The condition there is very difficult to say but what we see in media, it is not in a good state," Advani told ANI news agency.
She said the minorities in India enjoy all constitutional rights that ensure their protection across all sectors.
"In India, every minority, even the Dalits, have got rights as per our Constitution...India has given each and every minority the right - politically, socially, and everywhere..." she said.
She remarked during an event organised by an NGO named Sindhi Adhikar Manch on the sidelines of the UNHRC in Geneva.
Human rights activists have pointed to the rising cases of enforced disappearances reported from Pakistan's Balochistan and Sindh regions.
