Hindu spiritual leader kidnapped, Rs. 3 crore is ransom, else it is convert to Islam or kill. This is the way Hindus are tortured in Pakistan

Hindu spiritual leader kidnapped, Rs. 3 crore is ransom, else it is convert to Islam or kill. This is the way Hindus are tortured in Pakistan: "

Lakki Chand Garji is a revered Hindu leader from Balochistan province in Pakistan. He is one of the most revered and respected Hindu leaders both nationally and internationally. He was kidnapped by a gang of armed men on December 21st, 2010. He is yet to be recovered despite both local and provincial gubernatorial efforts.


Sri Garji’s kidnapping demonstrates the vulnerable state of minorities in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Even in Balochistan, with its secular and tolerant history, Hindu businesspeople and religious leaders have been targeted for murders, kidnapping, and ransom. Many Hindu families have fled the area or applied for asylum in India. Despite protests by local groups, the government has demonstrated its inability to protect the Hindu population both in Balochistan and elsewhere in Pakistan.
