Clashes over Pakistan teen's conversion

A line over an adolescent young lady's religious change

has started conflicts in the Chitral district in

north-west Pakistan.

The adolescent, named as Rina, is from the Kalash

minority, a tribe which adores a few divine beings and

goddesses.

She changed over to Islam not long ago, however

conflicts ejected on Thursday in the midst of a column over

whether she had been compelled to change over, and

whether she had in this manner surrendered Islam.

Handfuls assaulted her home with sticks and shakes

before being scattered.

Police were compelled to discharge shots into the air to

separate the group, before taking Rina from her

home in Kalash Valley to a protected spot in focal

Chitral.

On Friday, taking after gatherings with senior citizens on both

sides, Rina advised journalists she changed over to Islam

of her own through and through freedom, and would move in with her

Muslim relatives.

At a question and answer session, her family and Kalash

furthermore, Muslim people group pioneers said the brutality

had emitted over a misconception.

This had happened when, in the wake of changing over to

Islam and going through a night with a Muslim family

at a religious theological school, Rina went home and put

on conventional Kalash dress - comprising of a robe

weaved with cowrie shells and weaved

headgear, they said.

This had affronted nearby Muslims who accepted

this implied Rina had returned to her Kalash confidence,

they included.

"I wore the robe after a Muslim relative let me know I

was still a minor and could spruce up in our

conventional clothing; she let me know I could return to

Muslim shalwar-kameez dress once I had developed

up, so I wore the dress," Rina said.

A senior region official who asked

secrecy told the BBC that Rina may or may

not have expressed what really happened but rather it

unquestionably kept an acceleration of the

savagery.

"There has been no mutual viciousness here

some time recently, so maybe she just got terrified and was

presumably exhorted by both the powers and the

nearby older folks neither to confess to having been

constrained into change, if that somehow happened to be the

case, nor to whether she really atoned and

about-faced to her own particular religion, on the grounds that both

proclamations would outrage the Muslims," he said.

Albeit religious resilience in Pakistan has

declined, Thursday's viciousness stunned numerous

since Kalash Valley has not experienced such

conflicts some time recently.

Transformations to Islam are not exceptional among

the Kalash, particularly among young ladies who

begin to look all starry eyed at Muslims.

"The vast majority of these proselytes are school-or school

going young ladies who go under the impact of

Islamic substance in instructive educational module," said

Saifur Rahman Aziz, Boss Supervisor of the Chitral

Times.

He said this expanded rate of transformations was

making issues the Kalash people group

since numerous Kalash ladies who wedded

Muslim men were along these lines separated and

wound up living with their folks.

Kalash dissident Luke Rehmat told BBC that out

of an aggregate populace of more than 12,000 in the Kalash

valley, just around 4,000 now held fast to the

Kalash religion, a polytheistic confidence got from

Indo-Aryan custom.
