Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Strongly Condemns Police Raid on Peaceful Protest Camp Demanding Recovery of Missing Children
Islamabad : Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has strongly condemned the pre dawn police raid on a peaceful protest camp at Babarloi Bypass near Sukkur, the forcible dismantling of the camp, and the arrests and baton charge of citizens and civil society activists peacefully demanding the recovery of more than 20 missing children, including seven year old Hindu girl Priya Kumari.
In a statement, PTI Information Secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram said that the party strongly condemns the ongoing failure, incompetence, and alleged negligence of the PPP led Sindh government in the recovery of minor Hindu girl Priya Kumari and dozens of other missing children.
“This shameful episode has once again exposed the anti minority, feudal, and mafia friendly face of the PPP regime, which has turned Sindh into a safe haven for criminals and influential abductors,” he stated.
Sheikh Waqas Akram highlighted that nearly five years have passed since seven year old Priya Kumari was abducted on August 19, 2021, while serving water to mourners at a sabeel during Ashura in Sangrar village near Sukkur. Despite repeated public assurances from the Home Minister and other PPP functionaries that they “know her whereabouts” and that her “release is imminent,” the child remains missing. Multiple Joint Investigation Teams (JITs) have been constituted apparently for media photo ops only, while the Sindh High Court’s explicit orders directing the Inspector General of Police to establish a dedicated camp in Sukkur for her recovery have been blatantly ignored.
He further noted that peaceful protest camps had been established at Babarloi Bypass in Sukkur, with solidarity demonstrations held in Karachi, Hyderabad, Jamshoro, and other towns across Sindh. Instead of addressing the legitimate grievances of the affected families and citizens, the PPP government responded with brute force. Police conducted a midnight raid, dismantled the protest camp, and arrested innocent protesters.
“This heavy handed brutality against citizens raising their voices for the recovery of a missing child reveals the fascist mindset of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s party, which fears accountability more than it fears criminals,” Sheikh Waqas Akram asserted.
Emphasizing the interfaith dimension of the tragedy, the PTI Information Secretary said: “What makes this case even more heart-wrenching is that Priya Kumari, a young Hindu girl, was serving Muslim mourners during Muharram , a beautiful symbol of interfaith harmony. Yet the PPP government has utterly failed to protect her. It is commendable that Muslims across Sindh have joined hands with the Hindu community in demanding her immediate and safe recovery. This unity proves that the people of Sindh reject the divisive politics of the PPP.”
He added that the government’s continued inaction and suspected protection of influential figures involved in the kidnapping expose deep-rooted patronage networks. “The PPP has reduced Sindh’s minorities to second class citizens living in perpetual fear,” he lamented.
PTI demands the immediate and safe recovery of Priya Kumari and all other kidnapped and missing children in Sindh. The party calls upon the federal government, the judiciary, and human rights organizations to ensure that the Sindh government fulfills its constitutional responsibilities and brings the perpetrators to justice without further delay.

ڈاکٹر یاسمین راشد نے کچھ دن پہلے پیغام بھیجا تھا کہ اس عمر میں ہم سب کو طبی امراض کا سامنا ہے، ہمارے حالات جیل میں روز بروز بگڑ رہے ہیں۔
ڈاکٹر یاسمین راشد کا کوئی مخصوص گروپ نہیں اس لئے جتنا بھی ممکن رہائی کے لئے ��واز اٹھائیں
Release Imran Khan,
Shah Mehmud Qureshi, Dr Yasmin Rashid, Senator Ejaz Chaudhary, Mian Mehmud Rashid, Omar Sarfaraz Cheema, Hassan Khan Niazi and all other innocent political prisoners.
صورتحال مزید تشویشناک رخ اختیار کر گئی ہے۔ اڈیالہ جیل کے سپرنٹنڈنٹ نے اڈیالہ جیل میں قید عمران خان کی میڈیکل رپورٹس عدالت میں پیش نہیں کیں، بلکہ صرف زبانی مؤقف اختیار کیا۔ اس پر معزز جج نے بھی ریمارکس دیے کہ عدالت کے سامنے عمران خان کی کوئی تحریری میڈیکل رپورٹ موجود نہیں، اور محض سپرنٹنڈنٹ کے زبانی بیان پر کیسے انحصار کیا جا سکتا ہے۔ اس کے باوجود عمران خان کو میڈیکل گراؤنڈز پر کوئی ریلیف فراہم نہیں کیا گیا۔ دوسرا، آخر کیا وجہ ہے کہ عدالت نے بھی عمران خان کے ذاتی معالج کو پینل میں شامل کرنے کی درخواست مسترد کردی۔
سوال یہ پیدا ہوتا ہے کہ آخر عمران خان کی میڈیکل رپورٹس میں ایسا کیا درج ہے جو نہ اہلِ خانہ کو فراہم کی جا رہی ہیں اور نہ ہی عدالت کے سامنے پیش کی جا رہی ہیں؟ یہ طرزِ عمل شکوک و شبہات کو جنم دیتا ہے اور اس تاثر کو تقویت دیتا ہے کہ عمران خان کی آنکھ میں یقیناً کوئی سنجیدہ مسئلہ درپیش ہے، جسے اب پوشیدہ رکھا جا رہا ہے۔
Prime Minister Imran Khan @ImranKhanPTI has been illegally incarcerated over 950 days in Adiala Prison, despite severe medical torture inflicted on him and the subsequent fallout resulting in loss of his eyesight
The “courts” have ordered prison staff to allow him access to his sons, his family, his lawyers, his political representatives, yet Maryam nawaz and Shehbaz sharifs fake form 47 govts have flagrantly violated those orders and not once have these 26th amendment courts hauled in this cabal of dynastic thugs in contempt of court.
This consistent abuse of @ImranKhanPTI’s rights in particular regarding his health speaks volumes.
We, the people, shall continue to speak for Khan till he gets his freedom
A large & diverse reaction among Pakistani tweeters about the image of Imran Khan, who looks sick, weak & had sore eyes that may develop & hurt a lot..
But the most striking thing that caught my attention was the repetition of the phrase "we don't deserve you" from tweeters who are known to be loyal to PTI !!
Can this be considered an indication that frustration is beginning to sneak into souls of Imran’s followers & therefore he may get lost between various incidents & live the rest of his life in prison ?!
I hope not.
اڈیالہ جیل سے خوفناک صورت حال سامنے آئی ہے عمران خان نے سلمان صفدر رپورٹ میں کہا ہے کہ ان کی دائیں آنکھ کی بینائی مکمل چلی گئی ۔۔۔ اس کے بعد جا کر حکومت نے پمز منتقلی علاج کا فیصلہ کیا ۔۔۔ عمران خان کے مطابق ابھی تک 15 فیصد بینائی واپس آئی ہے ۔۔ کون ہے جو سابق وزیر اعظم کی آنکھ کے ساتھ کھیل رہا ہے ؟؟ اہم سوال ہے ۔۔۔ آخر صورتحال بنیائی مکمل جانے کی کیوں گئی ؟؟
