A Hindu representative body in Pakistan has sought support from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for the formation of an inter-faith committee in an effort to end rising atrocities against religious minorities in the country, days after a Christian couple were burnt to death.
The Pakistan Hindu Council (PHC) has proposed setting up of an active interfaith committee at the federal level under Sharif to prevent incidents of violence against minorities and promote interfaith harmony.
The Dawn reported that the executive committee of the PHC met on Sunday in Karachi to review mounting atrocities against religious minorities across the country.
