Colours of Holi smear Muslims, Hindus in Pakistan - The Times of India
In a pointer to communal harmony against all odds, Muslims of Pakistan joined hands with minority Hindus to celebrate the festival of colours Holi for the first time in an even held at Jamshoro in Sindh province on Wednesday.
The CEO of Progressive Human Foundation (PHF) Chandar Kumar told TOI that the Holi celebration was held in rural Jamshoro, which was attended by people of other religions besides the Hindu community of Sindh.
A research associate with PHF, Samiya Rafiqe said she was mesmerized to see people crazily splashing colours at each other. "This was for the first time that I saw a riot of colours with people enjoying every moment of it," she said. She said that celebrating and participating in each other's festival only strengthened bonds between two societies and helps shed differences.
The event was jointly organized by PHF and Pakistan Hindu Seva Welfare Trust (PHSWT), informed trust president Sanjesh Dhanja.
Aneesullaha Jamro, another member of PHF said that it was wonderful to share the event with Hindu community and play with colours. He said that the event also gave them a chance to listen to people's problems especially those living in rural areas. "It was not just festivity but a fruitful interaction with local Hindu and Muslims," he said.
