Reno Kumari the missing Hindu girl recovered from Sialkot, Punjab Pakistan.

Reno Kumari On 29th August 2019 disappeared from university and was found at Dar-Ul-Aman Sialkot, Punjab Pakistan.

A religiously converted name of Iman Fatima proves her conversion as Reno Kumari was recovered from Sialkot where she was kept safe at Dar-Ul-Aman (Gov.Protection Center for Women) & handed over after the official documentation and her statemet that she wants to go back with her family.

After the recovery and return of Sikh girl Jagjit Kaur to her family, the return of Reno Kumari proved a sigh of relief for Hindu  community of Pakistan as they are highly grateful to all Government law enforcement agencies,  stakeholders and departments for making it possible for safe return of Reno. 

The key role of Punjab government must be appreciated in this regard especially after the news went viral on social media the authorities moved swiftly and established all necessary links and measures to make it possible for Reno Kumari to be reunited with her family.

The return of both these girls was possible due to effective lobbying and protest of Sikh and Hindu communities all over the world.

Efforts made to Reinstate Christian educational institutions by Christian Minister in Punjab, Pakistan.

A Christian Member Punjab Assembly, Ejaz Alam Augestine is the current active Minister Human Rights/ Minorities Affairs/Interfaith harmony of Punjab province in Pakistan. Striving hard by following issues of human rights violations and issues faced by minorities in Punjab province, on daily basis he’s busy with helping victims in the matters such as registration of police complaints and much more. 

On 3^rd September 2019 a copy of Chief Minister Punjab office order emerged on scene in response to Ejaz Alam Augestine efforts requesting the CM Punjab to reinstate the Christian educational institutions in Punjab province. 

This is a very good step, During 70s, the government of Pakistan nationalized various Christian institutions and now after almost 50 years the newly elected Prime Minister Imran Khan has repeatedly stated that he wants to make Pakistan a country where the Christians and other religious minorities feel and believe themselves as equal citizens.  

The positive development in this regard is that the Chief Minister Punjab has issued this office order demanding a detailed summary of the institutions which were nationalized back in 70s for further processing and may be may be if Christians in Pakistan are lucky enough the long forgotten historical institutions with Christian identity might be reinstated to Christians which over the years served and helped the Pakistani nation after independence in 1947.  

This is a positive gesture from the side of Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf’s government in Punjab which has certainly given some confidence to Christians living in Punjab Province.

On the other hand the long disputed issue of Edward College, Peshawar still demands the equal attention from the sitting Government of Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf in KPK Province. As there are reports that after Court orders which clearly directed the Gov.KPK to not interfere in private administrative matters of Peshawer Diocese Church’s Edward College but Gov. KPK is still trying to revoke the institutions Christian identity and wants to get control of it at any cost.

The National level Government of Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf must focus on the situation of Edward College Peshawer’s issue as well. 

Since 1947 Christians have served Pakistan in all forms whether it was Education, Skill development, Health, Defense and much more.

All Christians living in Pakistan demand the basic human right of respect and treatment as per humanity values and practical efforts of Government towards elimination of deep rooted #Christophobia that exists in Pakistani Society.
