Mob removes Hindu's body from graveyard in southern Pakistan

Islamabad: Tension gripped a small village in Pakistan's Sindh province after a mob dug up the grave of a Hindu within 12 hours of his burial, saying he could not be interred in a Muslim



Announcements were made from a local mosque urging Hindus to take away the body and warning that it would be removed on Sunday morning, he said.

Hundreds of Bheel community members and their supporters from Sindhi nationalist parties and civil society groups thronged the local police station to protest.  

Sindh Hari Purhyat Council president Punhal Sario said, “Hundreds of Bheel supporters, including Muslims, have reached Pangrio. However the situation is extremely tense.”

He accused religious clerics of instigating Muslims by inviting students from madrassas of nearby towns.
