The CCSA is unhappy with the decision as no seat has been reserved for the Hindu minority either in the Parliament or in the Independent Election Commission of Afghanistan (IEC).  "Reservation of one seat for the Hindu minority in the Parliament is mentioned in the Constitution of Afghanistan, but this article has been deleted from the Law by the Parliament. President Karzai also ignored the nomination of one Hindu candidate for the IEC membership," said Mr. Singh.  "Hindus of Afghanistan are not Indian or Pakistani refugees, they are citizens of Afghanistan, and they have played a constructive role in the preservation of democracy. Why their demands have not been considered?" questions Ahmad Shah Estanakzai, Chairman of the Afghanistan Peace Village.  Meanwhile, a number of civil society institutions have supported the demands of the CCSA and stressed on ensuring the protection of basic rights of Hindu minority in the country.  "According to the laws, Hindus are allowed to fight for their rights, but the government has violated the Constitution of Afghanistan and has failed to honor the demands of the Hindu minority group," said Ajmal Balochzada, a civil society activist.  "Rights of the Hindu and Sikh minorities have always been ignored by the government, none of their demands are ever accepted by the government, we, the civil society institutions firmly support their demands," said Zahra Sepehr, civil society activist.  The CCSA has said that in the past, thousands of Sikhs and Hindu families were living in the country and their humanitarian and legal rights were saved. Now, since their numbers have dwindled and reached seven hundred families, the government is taking advantage of the situation and not granting them their legal rights.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Source TOLONEWS</div>
