Students Poke Fun At Hindu Gods And Prayers During Sindh University Festival
A couple of students from the prestigious Sindh University disguised themselves as Hindu Gods Shiva and Krishna and poked fun at Hinduism, sacred personalities of the religion and also made fun of the prayers.

Twitter user Sumeet Rathore shared the unfortunate incident saying that he and the Hindu community were deeply saddened by unacceptable behavior of a few Sindh University students.

According to him, the students disguised as sacred Hindu personalities were dancing and singing in a demeaning way and poking fun at Hindu prayers. He also said that Rs10 were charged to take part in the satirical ‘Pooja’.

“The images are really annoying. I cannot even describe it. These people have crossed the limits,” Sumeet said. He said Hindu students present at the occasion could not do much about it since the miscreants were in majority.

He also claimed that in the wake of the Pulwama Attack, Hindus were being targeted by few groups. “This (Pulwama Attack) is an issue between Pakistan and India, not between Hindus and Muslims,” he said, adding that he and the Hindu community condemn memes that ridicule their religion and sacred personalities.

“Minorities are safe in Pakistan, but some groups always want to spread hate and violence,” he said. He also urged the university authorities to take action against students involved in the activity that has hurt the sentiments of the Hindu community.
