Shiromani Akali Dal leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Wednesday took to his official Twitter handle and wrote about the forced abduction, conversion, and forced wedding of a 14-year-old Hindu girl Mehak from Jacobabad, Pakistan.
Releasing a video, Sirsa demanded that India should pressurize Pakistan into returning the minor girl to her parents.
Sirsa's tweet roughly translates to, "14-year-old Mehak was first abducted and then forced to marry. They are not even letting her go back to her parents. The entire Pakistani system is against minorities. In a situation like this, help from the Indian government is their last hope."
जैकबाबाद में 14 साल की महक को पहले अगवा किया गया, ज़बरन निकाह किया और अब उसे उसके माँ बाप के पास वापस भी नहीं दिया जा रहा

पाकिस्तान का पूरा सिस्टम अल्पसंख्यकों के ख़िलाफ़ है
ऐसे में भारत सरकार से मदद ही उनकी आख़िरी उम्मीद है @AmitShah जी@ANI @TimesNow @republic @thetribunechd pic.twitter.com/rBVsoFwgef
Calling it a clear violation of Human rights, Sirsa also further tweeted the Verification certificate of the Pakistani minor girl Mehak and also called out the Pakistani judiciary for 'acting biased.'
