Scores gathered outside St Patrick's Cathedral and the Karachi Press Club on Wednesday, protesting the alleged abduction and forced conversion of a Christian girl to Islam. The protesters, including the girl's family, critiqued court orders and lambasted the government and police for what they termed their indifferent attitude. Later, she told The Express Tribune she and her family had been threatened by men in civilian attire on court premises. Speaking to The Express Tribune, he dubbed the kidnappings and forced conversions of girls to Islam "a conspiracy against minorities." Our daughters are kidnapped and forcefully converted," he said, decrying the "injustice" meted out to the abducted girl's family.
