Pak denying aid to Hindus, Christians ‘troubles’ USCIRF

WASHINGTON: The US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has said it is ‘troubled’ by reports of food aid being denied to Hindus and Christians in Pakistan amid the COVID-19 outbreak in the country.

USCIRF Commissioner Anurima Bhargava said in a statement that these actions are reprehensible. Bhargava said as novel coronavirus continues to spread, vulnerable communities in Pakistan have been fighting hunger and to keep their families healthy and safe.
