Discussion on Religious Conversion Laws
Greetings. If,
under this country's laws,
you must attend any
school, institute, or university to earn a degree, then you must
always have your
parents' identity card and then get
their signatures on some form. Why?
Because they want to know whether,
if you really want to get it, then your family or your
elders agree or not,
and then proof of that is taken.
But unfortunately,
the fact is that even in 250 years,
history has been filled
with such incidents,
with such painful cries and screams that
whenever girls were forcibly
converted in the name of religion,
not only their families but the communities
connected to them
also became disheartened.
Not only were they forced to leave their homeland,
but the other people who were
with them also had souls
that were in pain,
and the society connected to us,
which, in a way, sits
with us in our homes,
their girls are not safe. They go outside
It is not just about their education,
but whether they can freely go outside.
Anyone can lure them away,
anyone can say anything and make them change
their religion.
So, in 250 years,
you still have not come
to understand that if
a girl comes to your doorstep,
someone can lure her away
or bring her by threats,
or bring her through blackmail,
or through harassment.
If a girl comes to your door and you
do not have enough sense to ask her
whether she came of her own accord and whether
her parents agree or not. For God's sake,
we
tell this state, how long will you
keep doing this to these girls?
Because these
girls' futures are being ruined.
Understand that they are as good as dead.
Their mothers, who spend their entire lives,
whatever they do for them...
That poor person has spent their
whole life watching them suffer.
Their family go through that pain
and yet you do not realize that you
are introducing a law. This law
is for those shrines licensed to convert girls' religions.
From them,
take away this license and give it to the court.
If your marriage is
registered, if your citizenship is properly
registered,
then under which law have you given them
permission to convert someone else's
religion and issue them a certificate?
If anyone wants to convert to another religion,
they should be an adult.
If someone wants to
convert to any religion,
they must have the freedom to do so and,
knowingly, choose a lawful route
and convert properly, just as, if they are
a minor, their guardians'
consent is absolutely necessary.
But here, a certificate
This too is false, and the accusation is false too,
and in many cases…
They abduct those poor girls,
take them away, and then their religion is
changed overnight. At the same time,
those girls are married off to their men.
It goes on and on, until he doesn't even want
to keep her in his own
home. I believe that
to protect one girl, another girl,
whatever her religion may be,
whether she is Sikh,
Muslim, Christian, or Hindu,
consider her as you
would your own daughter.
Why? She is a girl too,
and our girls are our own.
Her future is our future too. So if you
want, if you think that in this country,
its citizens are yours,
you may have left a white portion in the flag
because that is your share, but tell me,
among thousands of laws, which law is theirs?
Come on. Then tell us what protection
cells you have established,
what your so-
called laws and acts are and how many of them
provide those girls and their families with
justice, those who are still waiting
for justice and are compelled to
question you, question us,
question their own conscience, their fate,
question this nation and this motherland,
asking,
what exactly their crime is.
Is being Sindhi, along with being
Sikh, Hindu or Christian, a crime?
If it is not a crime, then
please bring in a law for them if
it is not a crime. If you still
feel it in your heart,
if you still have hope that
their future can be saved,
if you still hope that in
this state every citizen
can receive their rights,
so that whoever wishes to remain connected
to this country and move forward, then they
Bring a law against these
religious thugs and take away their
certificates and licenses,
then give them to the court, and then
we'll see how many girls are
inspired to change their religion.
Then we will see. Long live Sindh.
There is hope that justice certainly
will be done.
