Islamabad : A Hindu reporter in Karachi in Pakistan was forced to drink water from a separate glass at his workplace after his colleagues found out that he belongs to the Scheduled Caste, it was reported on Tuesday.
Sahib Khan Oad, who works as a senior reporter with government news agency, Associated Press of Pakistan, was allegedly barred from drinking water in the same glass and sharing the utensils with other Muslim staff, an Express News report said.
Oad hails from Dadu district, in Sindh province, and has completed his Masters from Quaid-e-Azam University Islamabad.
The discriminatory attitude started soon after his younger son, Raj Kumar, visited his office and everyone found out that he was Hindu, and belongs to the Scheduled Caste.
“Actually my name contains the word ‘Khan’ so everyone in the office initially thought I was Muslim,” he explained.
“The bureau chief asked me to separate my drinking water glass in the office because some colleagues had reservations.”
Since Ramazan started, Oad’s work environment worsened. He was not allowed to sit at the same dining table at the time of Iftar and senior colleagues have suggested he bring his own plate and glass if he wants to eat in the office. “I have now bought a separate glass and plate for the office,” he said.
APP Karachi bureau chief Parvez Aslam denied making any such request. “He was suffering from flu so we suggested he arrange a separate glass,” he said.
Aslam pointed out that he had supported Oad when the latter was transferred from Hyderabad and called the discrimination charges “total propaganda”. “You can come to my office and see how he eats Iftar with us,” he said.
Meanwhile, APP managing director Masood Malik said that they have started inquiry into the matter.

Its natural that a Muslim will never drink in the same glass of a non Muslim. not because of any class.
I keep separate glasses for Non Muslims. because they are idol worshipers or are Ham eaters or wine drinkers.
Even All Muslims must have separate clean Cups for health reasons.
Even in my family we never use same soaps or same towels, We have our own.
And we keep separate dish since muslims eat non-veg food.
But you stay in Hindu and Christian countries
We are inviting all to truthful Islam .
We have sent invitation to head of Churches & to Pope. But
As FOX TV reported POPE Benedict is now a Muslim.
Your Modi was so much frightened to see inflow of Hindus converting to Islam & He stopped Dr Zakir Naik to appear on Interfaith discussion in India.
Come & see in your own Eyes how many White Western reading Holy Quran & Accepting Islam against all odds.
Even the Teachers of Bibles & Jews are saying Holy Quran is true & Holy Mohamed Name appeared in Veda , & All
other Jews & Christians Bible . Light dispels darkness.
The nautical hours now unwrapped with civil twilight.
Islam religion ends at Paradise. I mean a muslim’s end goal is to attain Paradise. However in Hindu religion attaining paradise is considered to be average progress in the life because even though you attain Paradise, you still have sufferings.
Hence hindu religion says a human being should attain Moksha (Salvation). However, getting Moksha is not so easy because you have to control all your senses, become vegetarian & do karma yoga/ bhakti yoga or dyana yoga. So I think Islam is like a course of 10th standard certificate however hindu religion provides Ph.D.
I would urge all muslims that they should stop innocent animal killings & come on the path of Bhagwadgita.
I have seen many videos of Zakir Naik.. he is misleading people.. He deliberately hides many truths of Hindu scriptures.. even I can debate with him to prove Hindu is a true religion the world should accept.
” even though you attain Paradise, you still have sufferings. “- Could you explain this? Do you mean in Paradise people would suffer. Then by definition it is not called paradise. Because Paradise is absolute bliss. No enmity, no hatred and no grief and sorrow.
Controlling desires and maintaining chastity and modesty is also there in Islam.
Becoming vegetarian in toto by all the people of the earth is illogical as ecological balance can’t be maintained. Human body needs both meat and leafy vegetables. Animals are subservient to us.
Show me from your scripture bhagwad gita that the religion you follow is god ordained religion and it is the only truth.
Dear Shaaz,
Heaven is a higher level planet than earth. Hence it is better to be at heaven than on earth. However, birth cycle is not broken in heaven. However, if you attain Moksha, we get freedom from birth & death cycle. You may read this http://hinduism.stackexchange.com/questions/9943/is-there-any-difference-between-moksha-and-heaven
Now about vegetarian diet. Becoming vegetarian will not damage ecological balance. If you observe in today’s world the poultry industry is manufacturing innocent animals like chicken, lamb etc & killing them. Also, due to meat eaters global warming is increasing.
Dear Secular Hindu friend,
You have scanty knowledge of Islam. When we prostrate & pray direct to the Lord of all universe:The present & Future universe , you take shelters of Idols Inactive inanimate.
When all your Vedas witness & give clear Account of the crystal clear truth about the Last Holy Prophet Mohammed as the blessing to mankind, Like Christians you appease yourselves in incantation to have final salvation a hope stands at futility.
You believe recycles of birth which never take place nor any of your Saints or
King or Sita or Ram took Puanar Janam
as only shown in your Indian Films.
ALMIGHTY ALLAH certainly gave second life to some people specially at the time of Holy Prophet Dulkifl .Christian call Him Ezakeil . ALLAH SWT wanted to show HIS power & Miracle to this prophet . As He was passing by the valley of the bones near Palestine ALLAH SWT asked the Holy Prophet to call out the dead bones to come alive & over 4000 came out of Graves & lived for many years.
Yogis are not pious but money makers.
How you control your senses with Old
Monks arrested for having Sex with young girls. They want their worldly Monoskamana not for next world.
You throw words with out knowledge .
Had you read through Holy Quran you could have( if ALLAH SWT granted)
peace & tranquility of minds & body.
We live in temporary world .As Scientists
agree this universe will meet Big crunch
as described in Holy Quran . All will flee & depart to utter ruin. only the Glory of ALLAH SWT will be there & HE will unroll a permanent Universe .All those burnt to ashes & those Jinns of Spirit & Human
Engraved will be called out of graves & run not to a battle field but to the field of judgement nude . The Black faced are sinners & Idol worshipers & those equalized ALMIGHTY ALLAH with a human Sun Moon Etc. And Bright faced pious ones. The Day of the judgement will be equal to 50,000 Years But Pious will remain in comfort.
The Pious will remain in comfort with their pious relatives in paradise.
No more illness, no more death. no hole
in nostrils. No Ejaculation no extrication
as was holy Prophet Adam & Eve in the Heaven.
What you believe & surmised is a illusion
not reality.
Reality is ALMIGHTY ALLAH & the truth contained in Holy Quran of endless after life. Thank you.
Islam was revealed by prophet Muhammad for people who used to bury baby girls alive. So for such mentality people attaining heaven is really great achievement. However, people who are already on good path, Moksha is more important.
Keep in mind Islam ends at heaven. it can never give you moksha.
Now about Vedas stating Kalki avataar to whom you say that it is birth of prophet Muhammad. However, the truth is that Kalki avataar will happen at the end of Kali yuga i.e. after 4.2 lakh years & Kalki avataar will take birth in Bihar.. this is also explained in Vedas. Thus prophet muhammad is not Kalki avataar. However, I respect prophet muhammad to cultivate human being to basic level called ‘Heaven’.
First of all, Heaven is not a planet.So correct yourself.
Birth and DEath is only on earth. When we die that’s the end of our life and we shall be recompensed for what we used to do.
Death is one time so is birth. There is no pain and sufferings in Heaven. If a child takes birth his/her mother goes thru rigorous pain during pregnancy and the child also suffers during first 5 years of his life.
So what you are suggesting is not paradise but something else
Now,when you say be vegetarian, then you are advocating this for every single people on this planet aren’t you? If you say no then your words are not be taken seriously. If yes then of course it will create ecological disbalance, as greeneries shall be eaten in large scale by both man and animals, and animals will increase in number as they will die natural death.
Global warming is not due to meat eaters but due to carbon emissions from vehicles and from greenhouse gases.
Birth & death also applicable at heaven as well. Also note that human being who goes to heaven after earth, he can also return back to earth. You say there is a single life. ok.. I ask you simple question.. among human beings on earth, why somebody is wealthy? why some body is poor? why somebody is good looking & somebody is bad looking? why somebody has long life & somebody has short life? based upon which factor god decides fate of a human being if there is single life? There are many such questions which have not been answered by Islam.
Sorry that’s quite absurd that Human procreates on earth.No sane person would believe in such stuffs.
In Quran we are told, God gives provisions more to some and withholds for some. We are also told God created different types of people so that we recognize each other and not despise each other.Also God said he gave a stipulated term for every people.When his turn comes he returns to God, as in arabic Quran God said INNAL’ LILLAHI WA’INNA ILAYHI RA’JEEUN[ WE HAVE SENT YOU AND TO US IS YOUR RETURN]. Then,Based on good and bad deeds of ours God decides who is gonna go to hell and who to heaven.
I am sure you haven’t read Quran or else you wouldn’t have said, that those stuffs are not answered in Quran.
Sorry there’s a typing mistake. I wanted to write :
Sorry that’s quite absurd that Human procreates in HEAVEN.
