AT a time when atrocities on minority Hindus in Pakistan are hitting
media headlines, it is a matter of great pride that Prime Minister Raja
Pervez Ashraf has awarded a sum of Rs500,000 to a Hindu student, Revtash
Kumar, for his topping the matriculation examination on the request of
his father who is a shoemaker and earns just Rs100 to Rs150 a day. The
government will also bear all educational expensesforthe student until
he becomes a doctor.
The Indian and Pakistani media deserve kudos for highlighting atrocities committed on minority Hindus in Pakistan.
The
government should take all such steps to prevent migration of Hindu
families to India, including ensuring their safety by protecting them
from religious fanatics.
