PUCL -K President Prof Hasan Mansoor on Wednesday urged the members of Muslim community not to isolate themselves, as they were the co-sufferers in the Indian society.

Speaking at a seminar on `Minorities; Detention, Torture and Discrimination,’ organised by National Confederation of Human Rights Organisations (NCHRO), in association with Popular Front of India on Wednesday, Prof Mansoor said that Buddhists and Jains suffered at the hands of `Manuwadis’ more than the Muslims.

Terming Indian heritage as a `5000 year old theology,’ Prof Mansoor said that the `Manuwadis’ resorted to discrimination against women and practiced caste system. It is not just people from other religion, but the dalits and adivasis also suffered at their hands.
