Lawmakers condemn murder of six-year-old Hazara girl
[DAWN] Major Political and religious parties have strongly condemned in strongest terms the gruesome incident in Quetta where a six years old girl belonging to Hazara community was kidnapped and later killed and dumped on a garbage heap near her house."Oh, yasss. Tut tut." "its most unfortunate incident and there is high responsibility on government to protect the rights of all citizens regardless of their religious and ethnic background," PPP parliamentary leader in Senate, Raza Rabbani told Dawn.com. The girl who was from the minority Hazara ethnic group, was found dead last week in Quetta, the capital of the restive southwestern province of Balochistan  ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... Hazaras are mostly Shia Moslems and have borne the brunt of the wave of sectarian violence that has swept the province in recent years, mostly perpetrated by Sunni Moslem Death Eater groups. Quetta city police chief Abdur Razzak Cheema had said the victim, who was the daughter of a gardener working at an army facility, had been strangled with a rope. "There were a lot of bruises on the girl's body that show that attempts were made to rape her," he added. Speaking today, Rabbani lamented that the PML-N government's policy to counter extremism in the country has utterly failed because such incident were increasing by the day. "She is not Hazara girl... she is daughter of Pakistain and whoever has committed this crime should be awarded exemplary punishment," MQM parliamentary leader in the upper house, Tahir Mashidi said. He feared the incident indicates that no one's daughter remained safe in Pakistain. Posted by: Fred 2014-11-09 |
