Pakistan’s Sectarian ‘Charity’ Has US and UK Wings!
Karachi (AsiaNews) – A Karachi NGO has denied food aid to poor Hindus and Christians, who like Muslims are suffering from coronavirus.
.
In Pakistan, the number of coronavirus cases now stands at 1,664 with 21 deaths. The conditions of the poor are cause for great concern.
…
Before we continue reading about this vicious sectarian discrimination, just a reminder to UK and UK readers…
Apart from Pakistan, we have overseas offices in the UK, USA and UAE as well. Our worldwide branches are operating under the guidance of a team of over 2,000 working professionals who help almost 125,000 people on a daily basis. https://www.saylaniwelfare.com/home
…and these Saylanis have their British and American contact details here
- USA NO +1(716)941 7792
- UK NO (+44)115 970 6256

Readers should ask if they operate on the same vindictive, sectarian, discriminatory way as that gang in Pakistan!
Here’s the rest of that article we began with –
Due to government travel restrictions, many day labourers lost the only source of livelihood for their family. Various government and local organisations have tried to help them.
The Saylani Welfare International Trust has been operating in the Korangi area since 1999, handing out aid and meals to homeless people and seasonal workers.
…
Two days ago, the welfare organisation refused to give ration cards to non-Muslims, saying that only Muslims are entitled to them.
The reason for this is that Zakat, Islamic alms giving (one of Islam’s five pillars), is reserved for Muslims. The Christian man said he begged for food to no avail.
Farooq Masih, a 54-year-old Christian in Korangi, said that last Saturday, Abid Qadri, a member of Saylani Welfare, with other NGO members, handed out food cards in his area.
But, when they got to Christian homes, they just moved on.
Adan, a Muslim who lives in the same area, is outraged by the NGO’s attitude.
“Why did they discriminate against Christians? Are they not citizens of Pakistan? They have gone beyond the limits. This act is not acceptable from an association that claims to serve humanity. We are all suffering from COVID-19.”
Mangla Sharma, a Hindu Member of the Sindh Provincial Assembly, donated her March salary to the coronavirus emergency fund created by the Chief Minister.
For her, “We must focus only on people, on the poor of our nation. Otherwise, only one religious community will benefit. We must all be united at this critical moment and help everyone regardless of faith, creed or language. We must act immediately as one nation and put differences aside.”
How about you, readers?
If you see somebody in trouble, do you demand proof of religious affiliation before you try to help?
It wouldn’t occur to me.
But those Saylanis in Karachi?

Everything I read about Pakistan makes me want to shout and swear and those are things I hardly ever do.
Their government is spineless, their judges are wet as dish-cloths and now we see their charities lack the essential spirit of helping the helpless.
What I appreciate about your blog is that you don’t just let your anger out, you give us something to do like in this case email that Saylani branch in our own country.
Are they a registered charity?
If they deny help to people for sectarian reasons, can they be struck off the register?
I intend to ask.

That is one depressing story to read.
It must be terrible to have no conscience at all.

Yes JazPen.
But if they have no conscience then they do not know how terrible they are.
I think they must have conscience that God gives to everyone but they only do not listen to it,
