Advocate Veerji Kolhi has filed this case a result of a local Shoemaker printing the OM on shoes to be sold to the public in Pakistan.  The police allowed it to happen and they did not put a stop to this! The Governments of Pakistan and Sindh did not object!   This is a deliberate act to further cause shock and offense toward the Hindu communities  living in Pakistan, and it was even published in the Daily Ibrat, a local periodical to heighten their shock and promote more needless suffering.    It should be understood that the offense is that  this word represents the Divine.  The Supreme G-d!  The Hindu communities of Sindh have endured  the Destruction of three Holy Shrines, an armed threat to their communities over the alleged writing of the name of Allah  during the Hindu festival of Holi and false Blasephemy cases filed against Versi Kolhi and two others.  Advocate Veerji Kolhi has even endured a new false case filed against him for Kidnapping and Theft in order  for these enemies to stop any opposition for them in upcoming elections.  It is not acceptable that there is a double standard  that Muslims can be outraged at the writing of Allah's name during Holi, a very beautiful and happy celebration of Colors yet find it perfectly acceptable to write the Name of G-d for Hindus, The OM  on shoes!  Can anyone imagine the insult?  Who would place the name of G-d on shoes that His Holy name could be desecrated as people walk on dirt roads?  This is highly offensive  and extremely wrong to do to any people!   This is a threat to the Hindu Communities!  This is adding insult to injury after the breaking of Idols that are revered by Hindus of these communities and complete destruction of Temples!  What gives anyone the right to do such a heinous act?  IUFE  will make public every incident against Hindus that is done!  IUFE supports Advocate Veerji Kolhi as he strives to bring Justice to his people  for the devastating acts committed against them.

THE GOVERNMENTS OF SINDH AND PAKISTAN AND POLICE AGENCIES OF SINDH AND PAKISTAN ARE PUT ON NOTICE!  RELEASE ALL HINDUS ACCUSED IN FAKE CHARGES OF BLASPHEMY AGAINST VERSI KOLHI , ASHOK AND NESHWAR MEGHWAR AND FALSE CHARGES OF KIDNAPPING AND THEFT PLACED UPON ADVOCATE VEERJI KOLHI!  THIS HARASSMENT CANNOT CONTINUE AS IT WILL BE MADE PUBLIC IN PAKISTAN AND INTERNATIONALLY!  EVERY INCIDENT WILL BE WELL PUBLICIZED AND DOCUMENT AND FORWARDED TO INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS AGENCIES
