Khyber Pakhtunkhwa(Pakistan), May 27 (ANI): Human rights activists have time and again raised concerns over growing human rights violations in Pakistan’s northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The recent murder of a Sikh political leader Soran Singh in capital city of Peshawar has once again highlighted the plight of religious minority communities in the country.
The 2013 attack in a Church in the same city of Peshawar by militants, killing 96 people still haunts the Christian community living in the region. Some activists allege that the government is hand in gloves with extremists to counter secular philosophy. Kybher Pakhtunkhwa has become a major breeding ground of various militant organizations since 2001. But many claim that instead of taking stringent actions against them, Pakistan military and law enforcement agencies have been involved in extra-judicial killings, enforced disappearances and other atrocities against the people of the region. The attacks on Army Public School in Peshawar in 2014 which killed over 132 children and on Bacha Khan University this year is a grim reminder of the depleting human rights situation in the province.
