Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has ordered a probe into reports of abduction, forced conversion and underage marriages of two teenage Hindu girls in Sindh province and to take immediate steps for their recovery, Pakistan Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said today.
The two teenaged girls were allegedly kidnapped by a group of men from their home in Ghotki district in Sindh on the eve of Holi. Soon after the kidnapping, a video went viral in which a cleric was shown solemnising the Nikah (marriage) of the two girls.
In a separate video, the girls can be seen saying that they accepted Islam of their own free will.
Mr Chaudhry said the prime minister has also ordered the Sindh and Punjab governments to devise a joint action plan in light of the incident and to take concrete steps to prevent such incidents from happening again.
