Hyderabad (Pakistan) : A 6 years old Hindu girl Wijenti Meghwar, student of class 1 who was raped in Ghulam Nabi Shah town while playing in street yesterday was lying on death bed at civil hospital Mirpurkhas that also on intervention of PPP minister Mardan Ali Shah otherwise the doctors at Mirpurkhas civil hospital had refused to admit her and had asked for police letter from Ghulam Nabi Shah police station of Umerkot district.
But it was irony that concerned police has not registered case so far and instead of arresting the culprit involved in heinous crime of raping an infant child girl, has arrested a man whom father of girl describes as not related to crime. The relatives Iserdas, Sangeeta and others have complained that doctors at Mirpurkhas civil hospital were indifferent to her treatment.
The rape victim girl first was taken to Umerkot district hospital where there was no doctor on duty and then took her to Mirpurkhas which is on distance of 76 kilometers which cause enormous bleeding. Relatives say her condition has deteriorated due to bleeding and that the medical staff at Mirpurkhas civil hospital was giving less attention towards her recovery.
After coming to know about rape of a young child girl local PPP leader Mir Ali Raza Talpur, Fatima Baloch and Sindh Taraqi Pasand Party leaders Mehar Banglani and Nind Lal Malhi visited Mirpurkhas hospital to inquire about health of girl and warned of strong protest if accused was not arrested immediately.
The parents of girl told that the footprints of accused led to an Otaq of a powerful local Wadera as well as stiffer dogs also identified that spot, yet to mess up the matter and to save landlord, police has arrested a man named Naval to cool down the issue.
The incident has sent a wave of terror among minorities whose girls have given up to go to schools or even out of their homes. It was amazing to note that doctors who are called as Messihas (life savers) did refuse to attend the bleeding girl and asked parents to bring police letter until they were asked by Pir Madaan Ali Shah the provincial minister of Sindh.
The citizens of town Ghulam Nabi Shah were shocked on rape incident and closed down their shops to mark protest against the inhuman act of violence against a minor girl of minority Hindu community. The citizens of town Ghulam Nabi Shah led by Sardar Bhayo, Kanjee Mal and Mustaf Mehr held protest demonstration in front of local press club.
Meanwhile minority MNA Khatoomal Jeewan also talked to relatives of girl and on his direction SSP Umerkot Riaz Soomro rushed to civil hospital Mirpurkhas and inquried about the health of victim girl. He assured the parents that accused will be arrested without any fail.
It may be recalled that the life of minorities in Pakistan including Hindus, Christians and Sikhs and others have been made miserabale and Pakistan has turned difficult for minorities to live. Thousands of Hindus have migrated to India which they consider safer than Pakistan. The rape and abduction of Hindu girls is common in Pakistan especially in Sindh where the rulers have shut their eyes to such crimes against humanity. Leader of Hindu Panchayet MNA Kishan Chand has said that no month passes when more than 20 Hindu girls are not kidnapped and then forcibly converted.
