Abduction and conversion of Hindu girls on the rise in Sindh

Abduction and conversion of minor Hindu girls is on the rise in Pakistan. In the latest development, a girl named Sunita has been abducted from Jhuddo city of Mirpurkhas district in Sindh. She was abducted by a man named Jan Muhammad. Jan Muhammad not only abducted her but also converted her to Islam and forcibly married her. This resembles the horrific trend in abduction and conversion of Hindu girls.

Similarly, Poonam Meghwar, another Hindu girl, was abducted and married to Nawaz Ali, after being converted to Islam in Tando Ghulam Hyder city of Tando Muhammad Khan district in Sindh. It is worth noting that the girls in most of the cases are minors, sometimes even less than 10 years of age.

One family, two victims

In yet another gruesome act, a Hindu family has been targeted for the second time in four months. Earlier, their daughter Rehmat Bheel was abducted and converted to Islam and now the daughter-in-law, Dhani Bheel, has been abducted by a radical Islamist named Dilwar Aijaz. Her whereabouts are still unknown.

These major incidents have happened in a while, but no strict action has been taken by the establishment. Instead, the perpetrators are provided with a tacit consent. In all such cases, Hindu girls are targeted because they are a soft target for these radical Islamists. In the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, many radical Islamic clerics influence the mindset of Muslim youth and make them bigoted. Muslim youths are told to Islamise the entire world and that any act in that direction would be a pious one. This fanatic ideology drives them to commit the heinous crimes against Hindu and other minority girls and women. Since the clerics patronise them, they get full protection. Even the leaders of the majority community who bow down in front of the clerics try to shield the perpetrators.

The judiciary, which is left to act, is fed with the forged age certificates and documents of wilful conversion. This gruesome condition and agony of Hindus is going unheard and the crime against them are rising at a faster rate.

U.P.: Maulana rapes 11 year old girl inside a mosque

A distressing incident unfolded in a mosque in UP’s Hamirpur, as an 11-year-old girl was raped by a Maulana. Muntazir Alam, 28, hailing from Bihar used to teach Urdu to the students.

PTM Chief criticizes Pak media bias in Chaman protest & Baloch struggle

During an address at the protest site, PTM (Pashtun Tahafuz Movement) Chief launched a scathing critique against Pakistani media, accusing it of biased reporting and deliberate negligence towards ongoing protests in Chaman and Balochistan. He emphasized the ethical essence of journalism, asserting that unbiased reporting is essential. He pointed out the media’s failure to cover the 40-day-long Chaman protest and the Baloch protests, contrasting it with the extensive coverage given to even minute information by the DG ISPR.

The Chaman protest, now extending over 40 days, has emerged as a focal point against the mandatory passport implementation at the Durand Line. This abrupt decision by the Pakistani establishment has cast uncertainty among Pashtun Afghans with family and trade ties across the border. Protesters are demanding a reinstatement of the previous procedure, where travelers were issued a slip instead of mandating passports.

Despite the significant presence of thousands of protesters, the Pakistani media’s blackout regarding the Chaman protest has become a focal point of criticism. The PTM Chief highlighted the media’s disregard for the grievances of the persecuted and economically marginalized, contrasting it with the disproportionate attention given to selective narratives.

At the present, no armed group has taken responsibility for the incident or claimed the identities of the deceased. Further investigations are underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the clashes and the identities of those involved.

This incident highlights the ongoing security challenges in the Pak-occupied-Balochistan region and the persistent threat posed by Pak Army in the area. Since 27 March 1948, the Pakistan Army has been oppressing Baloch through daily home raids, disappearances, staged encounters, target killings, torture, humiliation at checkpoints, and kidnappings for ransom.

Sabghatullah’s enforced disappearance by Pak Army sparks urgent calls for justice

In a disturbing turn of events, Sabghatullah Sarparah, a resident of Chaghi, Pak-occupied-Balochistan, was forcibly disappeared from his residence on November 21, 2023, just a day after his wedding. This incident has raised grave concerns about his safety, particularly amidst the alarming trend of fake encounters in the region.

Sarparah’s disappearance is not an isolated incident. The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has documented hundreds of cases of enforced disappearances in Pak-occupied-Balochistan, with many of these individuals never being seen again. These disappearances have cast a shadow of fear and uncertainty over the lives of Baloch people, who are constantly at risk of being abducted by the Pak Army without any due process.

The Baloch people have long been subjected to systematic oppression and discrimination by the Pakistan Army, and Sabghatullah Sarparah’s enforced disappearance is a stark reminder of the ongoing human rights crisis.

Since 27 March 1948, the Pakistan Army has been oppressing Baloch through daily home raids, disappearances, staged encounters, target killings, torture, humiliation at checkpoints, and kidnappings for ransom. The Pakistan Army is targeting and monitoring Baloch people, and anyone who has the potential to raise questions is either killed or abducted.

The fate of Sabghatullah Sarparah hangs in balance, and the silence of the international community is deafening. The Baloch people demand justice for Sarparah and an end to the systematic persecution they face.

Pak-occupied J&K: Muzaffarabad University employees march for pending salary increment

The protest of Academic and Administrative Staff Associations in Muzaffarabad University of Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir enters it’s fifth day of protest. The protestors marched from Chehla Bandi to City Campus, advocating for overdue salary increases since July 2023.

Despite appeals to university authorities and a boycott of teaching and administrative duties since November 23, the employees’ demands remain unaddressed. This deadlock threatens both the staff’s economic well-being and the educational stability of thousands of students. The employees affirmed their commitment to protest until their rightful salary increments are honored.

Educational institutions in POJK, like the Muzaffarabad University, have been reduced to a center of persecution by Pakistan. Pakistan Army that de-facto runs the region knows the importance of education. It knows that harbouring education would make the Kashmiri youth competent and more oriented towards stability. Pakistan sees it as a threat to its illegal occupation of the region. In POJK, the youth are forced into the terrorism industry, while the teachers and other staff in various institutes are paid less to jeopardise the learning fabric of the region. Pak instigated scarcity for resources is solely guided to gradually dismantle the education system, so that ultimately, the Kashmiri youth becomes directionless and could be easily coerced into the terrorism industry. On the other hand, the misguided youth gets disconnected from the real world and does not question the exploitation of their regional resources.

Balochistan Liberation Front attacks Quetta police station

In a daring display, the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) launched a hand grenade attack on a police station in Quetta, Pak-occupied-Balochistan. The attack took place on November 29, 2023, in the Satellite Town area of Quetta.

Reportedly, BLF fighters threw a hand grenade inside the police station, which exploded with a loud explosion. The sound of the explosion was heard for miles around, and there was an exchange of gunfire between the attackers and police.

Even though, no casualties were reported in the attack, the police station sustained massive damage. The sarmachars managed to flee from the scene. The attack on the police station is the latest in a series of attacks that have been launched against Pak Army in Pak-occupied-Balochistan which is significant in recent years.

Committed to liberating Balochistan and the Baloch people from the atrocities of the Pakistan regime, the BLF is determined to carry out such attacks against the occupying Pakistan Army and its partners until the ultimate goal of independence is achieved.

Since 27 March 1948, the Pakistan Army has been oppressing Baloch through daily home raids, disappearances, staged encounters, target killings, torture, humiliation at checkpoints, and kidnappings for ransom. The Pakistan Army is targeting and monitoring Baloch people, and anyone who has the potential to raise questions is either killed or abducted.

Complete shutdown in Turbat against the extra-judicial killings of Baloch by Pak CTD

Complete shutdown in Turbat against the extra-judicial killings of Baloch by Pak CTD

On the call of Baloch Yakjetti Committee (BYC), a complete shutdown protest was observed on November 28 in Turbat.

As per the directions, all the entry and exit routes of the Turbat city had been blocked and traffic had been completely suspended by burning tyres on the roads by the protestors.

The Baloch Yakjetti Committee (BYC) has called for a shutdown in entire Makuran and a wheel jam strike in Turbat today to protest against the killing of Balach Maula Bakhsh by the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) and not registering an FIR despite the court orders.

Reportedly, a large number of youngsters burnt tires early in the morning at the city’s Cinema Square, while the main highway in Jusk and D-Baloch areas were blocked and barricades were erected at the entrance of the city and tyres were burnt. The effect of shuttdown protest was also seen in the port city of Gwadar.

CTD tries to portray it as terrorist encounter

Notably, Balach Baloch, along with other three Baloch youth, was killed by the CTD on November 23. The CTD, however, tried to portray the killing as a defensive act and termed it a terrorist encounter. Later, the family of deceased clarified that he was already in the custody of CTD, it is only them who have orchestrated this entire extra-judicial killing.

Since then, the family of all the killed Baloch youth, along with hundreds of other Baloch, have been sitting in a protest in Turbat. Couple of days ago, a local court in Balochistan’s Kech district ordered an FIR against involved CTD officials and investigation into the matter. However, considering the law and order situation in Pakistan occupied Balochistan, it is less likely that this move would meet its goal and serve justice to the innocent boys, because the so-called Counter Terrorism Department and Pakistan Army enjoy absolute impunity and forcibly disappear the Baloch people without any legal process. In such an anarchy, where only power, coercion and persecution is a tool of governance, a conception of justice is just a myth and utopia.
