Watch | Pak Hindu Senate lawmaker's remarks on forced conversion goes viral

An over 5-minute speech by a Hindu lawmaker in Pakistan on forced conversions is making waves on social media. While speaking about the force conversion issue, whose primary targets have been the minority Hindu community, Senator Danesh Kumar Palyani slammed the government for its inaction against the "influential people” involved in grave human rights abuse.

"You see in Sindh, bandits are forcefully converting our Hindu girls to Islam. Bandits in mud forts areas kidnap people but Bandits in settled areas are forcing girls to convert their religion," " the leader in the ongoing 337th session of the Pakistan Senate on April 30.

"However, Pakistan gives us the right that no one should force anyone else to convert. Even in Quran, it says 'La ikraha fiddin', [there be no compulsion in religion], whereas in 'Surah Al-Kafirun', it says your religion for you and mine for me. These oppressive people don't even believe in Pakistan's constitution or in the Quran sharif. They are forcibly changing the religion of Hindu women," he added.
