Treatment Of Minorities In Pakistan Taken Up At International Level: Jaishankar Tells Lok Sabha | India News

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said on Friday that India follows and tracks “very closely” the treatment of minorities in Pakistan and takes it up on an international level also. While speaking in the Lok Sabha, the EAM mentioned several cases of minorities to explain the situation of minorities in the neighbouring country.

Responding to a query on ‘Crime and atrocities against minorities in Pakistan’ during Question Hour in the Lower House, Jaishankar cited 10 cases of atrocities that were committed in Pakistan in February, including seven of them related to abduction and forcible conversion, two of them related to abduction and one related to police action against students who were celebrating Holi.

“I sympathize with the sentiments expressed by the honourable member. There are two parts to the question. One, whether we follow what are the crimes and atrocities against the minorities in Pakistan. And secondly, what are we doing about it internationally? So, the first part of it is yes, sir, we follow very closely, we track very closely the treatment of minorities in Pakistan. And as an example, I would like to apprise the House that just in the month of February, there were 10 cases of atrocities against the Hindu community, seven of them related to abduction and forcible conversion, two related to abduction, one related to police action against students who were celebrating Holi,” the EAM said.

He said that there were three incidents related to the Sikh community in Pakistan and two cases pertaining to the Ahmadiyya community. He stated that a Christian person, who reportedly was mentally unstable, was charged with blasphemy in Pakistan.

Jaishankar said, “There were three incidents relating to the Sikh community in Pakistan. In one case, a Sikh family was attacked. In another case, a Sikh family was threatened because of the reopening of an old gurdwara. There was also an abduction and conversion issue with one girl from that community. There were two cases pertaining to the Ahmadiyya community. In one case, a mosque was sealed, and in another case, 40 graves were desegregated, and there was one case pertaining to the Christian community, where a Christian person who reportedly was mentally unstable was charged with blasphemy.”

He said that India takes up the issues at the international level and cited the remarks of India’s representative at the UN Human Rights Council and India’s ambassador in the UN General Assembly.

Elaborating on how New Delhi takes up the issue on international level, the EAM said, “So the answer to the Honorable Member Sir is, yes, we track it very, very closely. We take it up, and we take it up at the international level also. Again, to give two recent examples, Sir, in the month of February, our representative at the UN Human Rights Council pointed out that Pakistan is a country where I quote him, where human rights, abuses, persecution of minorities and systematic erosion of democratic values are state policies, they constitute state policies which brazenly harbors UN sanctioned terrorists and Pakistan is in no position to lecture anyone. Instead, Pakistan should focus on providing actual governance and justice to its own people. Our ambassador in the UN General Assembly also just two weeks ago underlined the fanatical mindset of Pakistan which he said was very well known and its record of bigotry. So, we are taking it up at the international level.”

On March 26, Human Rights Focus Pakistan (HRFP) released a report on the first quarter of 2025, spotlighting a sharp rise in victimization rates and challenges faced by religious minorities in Pakistan.

The organisation condemned the escalating abuses, noting that relief and justice remain elusive due to resource constraints and the emboldened mindset of perpetrators, often backed by influential religious and political figures.

HRFP President Naveed Walter, addressing the findings, stated, “Religious minorities in Pakistan are easier targets for attacks, murders, blasphemy charges, abductions, forced conversions, and forced marriages. The lack of attention to their suffering and neglect is even more painful.”

He pointed to a surge in incidents since January 2025, citing cases like Wasif Masih, a Christian youth from Chak Jhumra, Faisalabad, falsely accused of theft, assaulted, and publicly humiliated with black paint on his face.
