Multan: Negating the false propaganda of forced religion conversion in Sindh, a documentary “Chained in the Web” was screened at Multan Arts Council (MAC) on Tuesday.
Known research scholar Aisha Ghazi filmed the documentary as its director and producer. The documentary contained interviews with different civil society workers, community leaders, and a number of individuals hailing from both Hindu and Muslim backgrounds from various parts of Sindh province.
The documentary orbits around the theme that there is complete religious freedom in the country.
Various individuals from the Hindu community who have now been converted to Muslims stated that they converted to Islam by their own choice. They rejected the propaganda of forced religious conversion.
Senator Karishna Kumari also highlighted the complete religious freedom across the country. She remarked that she, along with many other non-Muslims, enjoyed perks and privileges. The civil society workers stated that the concept of forced marriages was completely wrong.
The director and producer of the documentary, Aisha, stated that some foreign-funded NGOs were distorting the image of the country by highlighting false propaganda. The cases of the girls who embraced Islam were highlighted.
However, the males from minorities who converted to Islam were not highlighted. Aisha stated that it was a politically motivated campaign sponsored by the neighboring country against Pakistan. The caste system is very weak for minorities living in various parts of Sindh. However, in India, it is still prevalent in full force.
The Dalits were denied rights in India. However, in Pakistan, they enjoyed their rights. The documentary revealed the truth, highlighting that there were no forced conversions. She added that it was impossible to convert someone by force.
Aisha Ghazi, however, hinted at working for the marginalized segments.
