Islamabad: January 8, 2014. (PCP) Dr. Ramesh Kumar Vankwani, Member National Assembly and head of Pakistan Hindu Council has shown extreme anger on the rise of kidnapping of Hindu girls, forced conversion and marriage. He was talking to the media outside the Parliament House on Tuesday.
The PML-N parliamentarian said that such sorrowful incidents are serious internal threat to the integrity of Pakistan and must not be acceptable.
