KARACHI: To commemorate the national day for minorities, this year the Minority Rights March will be held on Sunday (tomorrow) from 2:30pm to 6pm.

The march will start from outside the YMCA Ground and reach the Sindh High Court via Hindu Gymkhana and the Sindh Assembly, where leaders of religious minority groups and civil society will address and read out their demands for cognisance by the state. Families of victims and survivors of religious-hate crimes will also speak.

There will also be artistic performances celebrating diversity of faiths and underscoring the plight of religious minorities.
