Missing Hindu nurse's parents' pleas in Pak falling on deaf ears |
Family members of the Hindu nurse, Bano, who disappeared
from Karachi last month under mysterious circumstances, have urged the government
to step into the issue and direct the concerned authorities to pursue the matter
seriously to find out her whereabouts. Bano's uncle and the head of the Hindu
Maheshwari community, Narain Das feared that her niece could have been killed
or forced to convert her religion. "The incidents of kidnapping our community
girls' have recently increased alarmingly and despite our repeated protests and
approaches to the higher authorities, nothing has so far been done to protect
the community members. Kidnappers have recently kidnapped several girls as young
as thirteen and fourteen years old," Das said. The police has arrested Gulzar,
who worked with Bano in the hospital, but failed to gather any substantial report
regarding her whereabouts. Gulzar has told officials that Bano has accepted Islam
and married her boyfriend Jaffer, but Bano's parents fear she has been murdered.
When enquired about the issue, Provincial Minister for Minority Affairs Dr Mohan
Lal said he would look into matter and issue guidelines to concerned authorities.
"I would personally talk to the police authorities and will ensure her release
as soon as possible," The Daily Times quoted Lal, as saying. |
