KARACHI: A Hindu grave was dug up near Pakistan's southern city of Karachi in a dispute over burial plots, police said Tuesday.

Local residents in Pangrio town, some 225 kilometres east of Karachi, protested that a man from the minority Hindu community had been buried in the main Muslim graveyard.

“The members of the Muslim community dug up the grave on Sunday, removed the body and handed it over to the town administration,” local police officer Aslam Khanzada told AFP.

The body of Bhoromal Bheel has now been reburied in another location, he said.

“The town was shut in protest by the Muslims,” Maulvi Mithan, the prayer leader in a local mosque said.

Relatives of the deceased, while talking to AFP, claimed that police had sided with the Muslims.

“My cousin's body was removed and recklessly laid at the road all the day long in the scorching heat,” said cousin Nar Singh Bheel, adding that Hindus had buried bodies in that part of the graveyard for decades.

“We have over a hundred graves of our forefathers there,” he said.

Hindus account for two per cent of Pakistan's 180 million population, mostly in Sindh province of which Karachi is the capital but tension between the two religious groups is relatively rare.

Really feel sorry for the plight of minorities in Pakistan. They can't even share a graveyard with Hindus.

He is Dead , he doesn't care . Those who did this are alive . They will carry a metaphorical laash on their shoulders for rest of their lives .

And before anyone comes upto why he was buried not cremated , its because Bheel and other hindu communities in Pakistan do that from Many , many years .

 

[Spring Onion]

Where are NGOs??

Stand up. This is stupidity of highest level. The pathetic Pakistani govt should wake up and protect our people.


First and formost provide Pakistani Hindus cremation places and facilities . And those who want to burry their dead give them full rights.

Some castes like Vishnois and Lingayats, and some tribal Hindus do bury their dead.

Some specific Hindu communities bury their dead, and as mentioned in the article, it belonged to a Bheel community. Some of them in India too bury their dead.

Also, the young ones of Hindus are often buried. Traditionally, some are also given to the rivers, but with rising population it leads to pollution of the waters.

Lakh lanat on the moron who did it.....lots of junkey's roaming in the Qabristan these days.

You know, it is pathetic of you to put the blame on some junkie's head, as if the grave would have been dug up irrespective of the community.

Article clearly states that the Muslim community dug it up and handed it to the authorities. Job of a junkie?

They are your own people AeroNauty, but only if you consider them such.

No use because it will fall on deaf ears. They could not even name a square after their Hindu freedom fighter, how do u expect them to share their graveyards with Hindus?? It is better for Hindus to burn their dead than being their dead desecrated like this...

Yes Hindus Burns the Dead Body, But when the Deceased is an Infant they are Buried,
Hope they have Not done this to an Infant's Body.

Yes, but this chap was a Bheel. I suppose some Bheel tribes night be burying their dead too.

Its sad you don't know about your own practices. There some Hindu communities who do burry their dead . They have two graveyards in Rawalpindi/Islamabad

Apart from that due to lack of cremation facilities they burry their dead.
