Nadeem emphasised how Karachi's millions of frustrated, poor, and unemployed, yet talented and educated, youth could easily fall prey to religious extremists, including ISIS, which recently vowed to make Pakistan its next powerbase.
Nadeem has also written a letter to Trump where he has asked the US President to raise the issue of the minority when he meets PM Imran Khan which include Muhajir, Baloch , Pashtuns, Sindhis, Siddis, Saraikis etc.
The demonstration brought together a range of campaigners who travelled from all around the United States only to protest against the oppression by the Pakistani state, human rights violations and state-sponsored atrocities against the oppressed minorities in Pakistan. (ANI)
