Islamabad, June 10: Former Pakistan Premier and Opposition leader Benazir Bhutto on Saturday alleged that several Hindu families supporting her Pakistan People's Party in Larkhana in southern Sindh province were being threatened to switch loyalities.
The Hindu community has complained that some prominent members in Shahdad Kot, Larkhana have been receiving threatening telephone calls demanding money and asking them to renounce their association with the PPP, Bhutto, who lives in self exile in Dubai, said in a statement.
She cited the case of a noted Hindu family of Warand Mal whose son was recently shot and wounded.
Another Hindu youth was shot and killed in Larkhana last month by unknown assailants, she said adding 'threatening calls and letters were being routinely sent to Hindu families asking them to give up their association with the PPP'.
