Forced Conversion of Christian Boy in Sargodha – Why Is Minority Minister Ramesh Singh Arora Silent

Here’s exploring the Sargodha incident and Rev. Arora’s silence:

In Sargodha, a young Christian boy reportedly experienced forced conversion—a tragic episode that reignited debates over religious freedom and minority protections in Pakistan. The child's family has voiced concerns of coercion, and civil society demands immediate intervention. Yet notably, Provincial Minority Affairs Minister Ramesh Singh Arora has remained conspicuously silent on the matter, raising questions about accountability and leadership.

First Sikh minister in post‑Partition Punjab, appointed in March 2024 as the Minister for Minority Affairs, under CM Maryam Nawaz.
A respected human rights activist, awarded Pakistan’s National Human Rights Award in 2016.
Implementer of several initiatives: minority scholarships, marriage act passage, church renovation, minority cards & quarterly grants.

The Sargodha case involved alleged forced conversion of a vulnerable Christian child. Legal action and moral outrage followed.

Despite similar incidents drawing prompt responses—such as security deployment around churches and public statements—Minister Arora has not publicly addressed this incident.
His office received direct appeals for intervention and protection, but no public reassurance or statement has been issued so far.

As Minority Affairs Minister, Arora’s role includes advocacy, protection, and transparent engagement—especially in high-profile cases involving minorities.
His lack of response raises concerns about selective accountability and perceived inaction in sensitive human rights issues.

Minority representatives have expressed disappointment, questioning why this especially sensitive case remains unaddressed.
There's a growing call from local advocates urging Arora to issue a statement and lead an investigation. Silence is increasingly viewed as complicity.

Minister Arora must publicly address the Sargodha incident, clarify the government’s stance, and demand swift legal action.
Authorities must ensure child protection laws are enforced, and victims of forced conversions are safeguarded.
Civic groups and media should demand transparency and accountability, urging Arora to fulfill his ministerial responsibilities.
