Geneva [Switzerland], March 7 (ANI): Lara Delutis, a volunteer with the Sambhali Trust—a community-based non-profit in Rajasthan—spoke at the 61st session of the UN Human Rights Council about challenges faced by migrants from minority communities who relocated from Pakistan to India. She highlighted the role of grassroots organisations in supporting these migrants.
Speaking to ANI on the sidelines of the session, Delutis recalled visiting Rajasthan and meeting many women and families who had migrated from Pakistan years ago. She said their experiences made a deep impression on her.
“Sambhali Trust is an organisation that is really working for asylum seekers, especially in desert communities. They are providing livelihood support, education, and assistance in cases of emergency,” she said.
On reasons for migration, Delutis pointed to religious discrimination in Pakistan as a primary factor forcing families to leave. “The reason why these people, unfortunately, are leaving their nation, Pakistan, is basically because of religious discrimination, which is absolutely intolerable,” she said.
Delutis also shared a message of compassion and openness drawn from her time in India. “My message to the world is that we should try to live with our hearts open. This is what I learned in India. That open-hearted conversation and openness is something we can express even through a simple ‘Namaste,’” she said. “So we should really remember our roots and live with our hearts open. That will take us in the right direction.” (ANI)
