New Delhi (IANS): A delegation of Pakistani Hindus and the VHP on Wednesday submitted a memorandum to the UN explaining the violation of their rights in Pakistan, and requesting rehabilitation in India.

"We have requested the UN to provide relief to the Pakistani Hindus as they are being attacked and tortured there. We have submitted a memorandum," Rajiv Gupta, one of the VHP representatives, said.

Holding placards and tricolours in their hands, several Pakistani Hindus gathered outside the UN Information Centre at Lodhi Road and raised slogans, demanding that they be allowed to stay in India.

"Our women are being raped there, our children are being converted to Islam forcefully. Pakistan is like hell. I will commit suicide here but never return," said Veer Das, 38, a farmer from Hyderabad, in Sindh province of Pakistan.

The protesters revealed that they have no access to government jobs, proper healthcare and food. As many of them are farmers, they are being exploited by rich landlords, they said.
