#Lahore incident

[feministfang]

A 17 y/o girl was raped by a security guard in the basement of a college campus (PGC) in Lahore, Pakistan.

The school administration tried to cover up the crime to protect the reputation of their campus. They denied the incident and are now threatening the students to stay quiet otherwise they will be expelled.

Thousands of students are since protesting to seek justice for the girl.

About 23 campuses of the college have been destroyed by the students.

The rapist has been arrested according to the news but there’s another news circulating on the internet that the case has been closed by the police who claim that the girl's parents confirmed she only fell and broke her leg.

And the internet is once again replete with stupid morons praising the male students for taking part in the protests and calling them 'a hope for the future generation' however these boys are no different from the rapist security guard.

Female students of the campus have made several complaints against the male students and the guards before as well for harassing them but the administrators would always suppress the issue.

The girl/victim is currently in the hospital.

News update:

Lahore, Pakistan Rape Case

I want to bring attention to a sensitive matter.

This is utterly bullshit.

They think they can cover this up, but nobody is blind.

So what happened was that a 17 year old college student was raped by a school security guard in the basement. Another student happen to witness it, she recorded and posted it on social media.

The said guard was, according to the college, gone back to his village to meet his family, then he was relocated and then he was arrested by police. Which according to speculation is a scape goat. The rape was done by a person of authority and the private college administration is trying to cover it. And the girl is send to hospital because she fell down and had a foot/back injury. Lol

So the female students came out to protest, peacefully, to demand justice.

But, they all were said to shush up which enraged the students. The girls were slapped by the teachers in class and told that they will be suspended. And so they were suspended and trapped in their dorms. They have no way of coming or going out.

The boys of the college were outraged by the behavior of teacher and authorities and so took matters into their own hand. They planned a meet up infront of the girls college dorm and broke down the gates and windows using stones and poles to free the girls.

The police and security was called on, TO PACIFY AND DISPERSE THE RAGING STUDENTS. LOL and many were injured. Several other college students have joined.

And what's baffling to me, the claim that the alleged person made was that she looked like wanting for it(lmao the oldest excuse in the textbook). The mothers should be protecting their daughters. And I am GLAD that none of this was bought and called out on. The mothers and daughter spoke up with this tagline going viral.

" protect our daughters? Educate the sons"

In Pakistan, speaking up against crime is the biggest crime. The ones who are responsible for protecting the people are the ones committing the crime against people.

I hope and pray for these students. Stay strong, your effort will not be wasted.

And I want to spread awareness as the media in Pakistan is barely telling the truth.

Chapter 3: Keen

Sita's note: Imagine lying to a police officer lol

When Akhtar brought Kainat home, the whole family stalled, thinking he got married. He already had this responsibility, how was he going to get married now? The breath of relief they exhaled upon clarification sent Akhtar in confusion and made Kainat smile to herself.

It was a sweet family of four people, the kind of family Kainat often dreamed of. A supportive mother, a loving sister and a present father. Somehow, somewhere, Kainat envied Akhtar. Kainat soon got to know that they have a mechanic shop. She promised that as much as she is welcomed home, she won't extend her stay for long.

The only person she didn't understand was Ram. He was serious, yet kind looking man. There were glimpse of hope yet burden in his eyes, and she was keen to know more. Besides, years of training has told her how to read the face of a man. Their first meeting, as she felt, was tolling on him. She didn't understand if he was an ally to the police- perhaps yes. Maybe he was an inside informer. Spies reigned the streets of Lahore- she couldn't be trusting of anyone, anywhere. Kainat felt closer to her goal of freedom after coming to Delhi. The underground and informal meetings, exchange of information and knowledge, planning revolts and revolutions- she wanted to be a part of all of it. And it wasn't possible from the back of her horse cart.

But Delhi was not as easy to fit in, just like this family. Kainat always spent most of her time alone in Shahi Mahal, and sometimes she sprawled upon Khwabgah, doing her art. She painted various murals, only for them to be covered with dust instead of praises. Kainat wondered if she could do all of that here. But this close knit family reminded her that sometimes the best moment comes from just spending time together. Rehana was occasionally kind, but never hated Kainat. Mallika for some reason, did.

The expressions that planted on Kainat's face were only readable to Ram. She felt lucky to be invited to this lunch, eating with everyone. Ram could see the gratefulness on her face. But that raised questions in his mind. Kainat sat next to Akhtar, across Ram. Picking up her spoon, she began to eat when Akhtar pulled it back. "Eat from your hands, that's more fulling" Ram stared at Kainat, who hesitated but followed Akhtar. The way she took small bites, her hands, her lips, everything was elegant about her. Ram's gaze was interrupted when he felt Akhtar tapping his knee and smiling to himself.

Kainat saw Akhtar almost everyday, but he never really asked or interrogated about her background. She often told her Lahore stories to his younger sister anyways although Kainat never saw Ram. She wanted to thank Akhtar and his family, so she took up the kitchen to make Chicken Biryani for them.

She sat away from them, watching and serving when needed. As they huddled around the huge plate, the graceful Kainat died inside. Ram and Akhtar devoured the dish twice the speed of everyone else. On one incident, Akhtar used both his hands to eat. "Akhtar bhaiya, eat from your right hand!" She remarked, when she felt Ram's hot gaze at her. "How does it matter, I'm gonna eat it anyways" Akhtar's reply took away Ram's attention. "You come and eat too" Akhtar looked at Kainat.

Everyone relaxed after the meal, and Ram saw Kainat cleaning the kitchen up, following her. "What was your name again?" Ram's velvety voice shocked Kainat, making her jump. She looked back to see Ram leaning against the door frame, his eyes fixated on her. She turned around to face him. "Kainat" she muttered. "And where do you come from, in Lahore?"

"Heer-" a realisation dawned on Kainat; what if he knew about her birthplace? "Heer?" Kainat saw Ram straining to hear more. "Near Heeramandi" she said, her breaths getting shorter. "And why did you come to Delhi?" Kainat thought hard- would it hurt to tell the truth? "My sister was going to sell me to someone, after our parents died. She wanted everything my father has written in his will for me. So I ran away" Kainat looked down, her hands fiddling. "Do you belong to any royalty or just a rich family?" The poor girl looked up at Ram again. "Rich family, my father's business boomed" she wondered if that's how children with fathers talk. "And how l-" "you ask too many questions" Kainat couldn't help but notice. "Even Akhtar bhaiya didn't ask as many" she smiled, looking at Ram's mouth agape. His expression turned to a sincere and serious one, as he moved closer to her, step by step.

"And that's why I have to." Ram's breath hit her, his voice audible to only them. Kainat's smile fell. They stared at each other for what seemed to be a long time, when they were interrupted by a voice outside. "Kainat, can you make tea for everyone?"

She moved almost immediately, turning around to pick up the pan and filled it with water. Kainat reached her hand out to pick up the steel box of tea leaves, only to find it empty. She could still feel Ram staring at her every move, but she said nothing. Ammi did say in the morning where the box of tea leaves is, but it was too up for Kainat. She tried to pick it up, but her fingers slid it back on the shelf. Kainat could feel a presence around her, closer than where Ram was. She turned around to see Ram picking up the box. He breathed down Kainat's neck, his fingers barely grazing the box. "Maybe I should move" she began to escape the close space, only to be stopped by Ram's denial. "No, I got it" he said, handing the box to her now.

Kainat muttered a small thanks, and put two spoons of leaves in the boiling water, when she felt Ram's lips almost touching her ear. "If I found that you're lying, there'd be repercussions". A chill went down her spine, but before she could turn and see him- the kitchen was empty.

BEIRUT (AP) — Protests were held Friday in several predominantly Muslim countries to denounce the recent desecration of Islam’s holy book by far-right activists in Sweden and the Netherlands.

The protests in countries including Pakistan, Iraq, Iran and Lebanon ended with people dispersing peacefully. In Pakistan's capital of Islamabad, police officers stopped some demonstrators trying to march toward the Swedish Embassy.

About 12,000 Islamists from the Tehreek-e-Labiak Pakistan party rallied in Lahore, the capital of the eastern Punjab province to denounce the desecration of the Quran in the two European countries. In his speech to the demonstrators, Saad Rizvi, the head of the TLP, asked the government to lodge a strong protest with Sweden and the Netherlands so that such incidents don't happen again.

Similar rallies were also held in the southern city of Karachi and in the northwest.

Friday's rallies dispersed peacefully. However, Tehreek-e-Labiak Pakistan in recent years has held violent rallies over the publication of caricatures of Islam’s prophet in France and elsewhere in the world.

In the Iranian capital of Tehran, hundreds of people marched after Friday prayers during which they burned a Swedish flag.

In Beirut, about 200 angry protesters burned the flags of Sweden and the Netherlands outside the blue-domed Mohammed Al-Amin mosque at Beirut’s central Martyrs Square.

Small protests over the Quran burning also took place in Bahrain, a small island nation in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Saudi Arabia. _________________

Be interesting to see what would happen if Christians started reacting this way when their holy items were desecrated.

Some group in Tunisia gets together and makes a deal about burning a Bible to ash and all of a sudden theirs mass protests outside their embassies all over the world.

Don't imagine it would be well received

Pakistan: Muslim Mobs Hunt Christians

by Uzay Bulut September 1, 2023 at 5:00 am

Hundreds of Christians fled their homes on August 16 when, in the eastern Pakistani district capital of Jaranwala, Muslim mobs started an anti-Christian riot, vandalizing churches and setting churches and Christians' homes on fire -- all based just on an accusation that a Quran had been desecrated.

At least 20 churches throughout the city were set on fire and more than 400 homes belonging to Christians damaged.

"Two Christian individuals are accused of desecrating the Quran. People are demanding life imprisonment, but the accusation is false. They have done nothing. The accusation was fabricated by an Islamist group, Tehreek-e-Labbaik." — Faraz Pervaiz, a Christian Pakistani asylum-seeker who fled to Thailand after being accused in Pakistan of blasphemy for criticizing political Islam, reporting through his sources on the ground, August 2023.

"On August 16, 2023 a woman carrying these documents with torn pages of Quran knocked the door of Raja and Rocky, later be accused of blasphemy. When they opened the door, the woman started shouting at the family and accusing them that you have desecrated the Quran. The family was shocked. Meanwhile this woman started making loud noises to wake the people up. 'Raja and Rocky has committed blasphemy,' she was shouting, 'and you Muslims are sleeping!'" — Faraz Pervaiz, August 2023.

The Muslim mobs then started attacking Christian homes and churches; the Christians fled and slept outside to avoid being burned alive, Pervaiz said.

"Christians are sleeping under open sky now. They are helpless. They get no support from any organization or the Government. They get no food support, and no new shelter is provided. They are starving. They are too scared to go back to their homes. They fear being killed... The police were helping the perpetrators and the vigilantes. There was no military intervention to stop the attacks. ...The newly elected Prime Minister of Pakistan has condemned the incidents, but Christians need help, which he could have provided. But he did not because he knew that entire Muslim community would stand against him." — Faraz Pervaiz, August 2023.

To urge Muslims to hunt down Pervaiz, mullahs in Pakistan have led demonstrations where the crowds were encouraged to chant: "There is only one punishment for insulting the Prophet. Sever the head from the body! Sever the head from the body!"

In 2019, Pervaiz's home address in Bangkok, Thailand, was revealed in a video released on social media, with calls to every Muslim to find and kill him and his family. Several mullahs also attached fatwas to the video calling on Muslims to kill him. Posters with his photograph were plastered across many cities, including outside mosques and government offices in Lahore and Pakistan's capital, Islamabad.

Meanwhile, Pakistani Islamists have placed a bounty on Pervaiz. The Tahreek-e-Labbaik political party announced the first bounty of $62,000 in 2015. The next year, a cleric doubled it to $124,000. Pervaiz told Gatestone that many Islamist parties in Pakistan have placed a bounty on him; the amount now totals $400,000.

The UN and other members of the international community seriously need to reconsider their relations with the government of Pakistan. It is a systematic violator of human rights and a major supporter of Islamist terrorism. A government that treats its minorities so unjustly and inhumanely needs to be held to account.

I've been to Pakistan. Trust me. You could wipe the entire country off the map and no one would ever miss it.

[mariacallous]

When a male client grabbed 32-year-old Hafsa Ahmad from behind inside a crowded courtroom in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore, she knew no colleague would stand up for her despite witnessing the assault. Why would the law firm she works for lose a high fee-paying client just to protect her, she thought to herself. She did not say a word and forgot the incident as if it had never happened.

Ahmad’s experience is not a one-off; 35-year-old Nida Usman Chaudhary, an award-winning lawyer and researcher, was catcalled by a male lawyer right outside the Lahore High Court, just when she was exiting the building after hosting a seminar to raise awareness about sexual harassment at the workplace. “It is ironic that this happened moments after I had finished speaking to a room full of lawyers about ways to curb harassment in the courts,” she told Foreign Policy.

In Pakistan, women lawyers who pursue litigation have to develop a thick skin to survive in the profession. Sexual harassment, condescending attitudes of male colleagues—and even some judges—and an overall culture of misogyny discourages them from practicing law and forces some of them to switch career paths.

Pakistan’s Protection Against Harassment of Women at Workplace Act (enacted in 2010) makes it mandatory for government and private institutions to form inquiry committees to hear complaints of harassment, yet this law remains unimplemented in courts and law firms. Harassment, gender discrimination, and lack of internal recourse not only rob women lawyers of opportunities for networking and growth, but also has a lasting effect on Pakistani society.

Given the rampant culture of victim-blaming when it comes to cases of gender-based violence in Pakistan, the absence of a critical mass of women lawyers means victims of these crimes who approach the courts are met with hostility and are often forced to withdraw their complaints after reaching a so-called compromise with the accused.

Complainants who report gender-based violence often face character assassination during cross-examination, with opposing parties trying to question their credibility and blaming them for their own ordeal. It is easier to navigate this misogynistic environment with a woman lawyer on your side. However, without this support, female complainants are usually intimidated into silence. The gender imbalance in the legal profession therefore affects the criminal justice system’s ability to dispense justice.

Earlier this year, the Lahore High Court Bar Association elected its first woman secretary, Sabahat Rizvi, in a victory that women rights groups celebrated as historic. While Rizvi’s win was indeed a breath of fresh air, it is an exception to the norm. The Pakistan Bar Council, the highest elected body of lawyers in the country, hasn’t had a single female member since its formation by the Parliament in 1973. The absence of women in this body, according to Chaudhary, is linked to the way the electoral process works—which is structurally designed to keep men in power.

Members of the Pakistan Bar Council are elected directly by provincial bar councils. Since provincial bar councils have a disturbingly low number of women members to begin with, it’s mostly men picking the Pakistan Bar Council. A study conducted by the Women in Law Initiative found that in recent years, following a 2018 amendment to the law, the eligibility requirements to run in local bar council elections have become increasingly stringent and have resulted in the “gatekeeping” of corridors of power from women and young lawyers.

Only 12 percent of the lawyers in Pakistan who are registered as advocates are women, while in Punjab—the country’s biggest province by population—the percentage of women lawyers is 11 percent. The Punjab Bar Council has just one female member, Rushda Lodhi, who was a runner-up in the council’s last election in 2020. Lodhi was given the seat after a top-ranking male official was disqualified for having a fake law degree.

The late Asma Jilani Jahangir—Pakistan’s most well-known human rights defender and lawyer—managed to make her mark not just in Pakistan but around the world. Jahangir, who tirelessly defended Pakistan’s most marginalized groups, was the recipient of many human rights awards, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005. With her sudden passing in 2016, young women lawyers she had mentored felt they had been orphaned. Jahangir’s younger sister, Hina Jilani, also a lawyer, is now carrying forward her legacy.

But what is common among the Jilani sisters, as well as other strong women lawyers like them, is the support from their families alongside their own perseverance. Most women in Pakistan, especially in conservative parts of the country such as in the provinces of Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, are not as fortunate.

The 2022 Global Gender Gap Index Report, released by the World Economic Forum, ranked Pakistan 145 out of 156 countries surveyed—beneath Saudi Arabia and Iran— when it came to economic participation and opportunity. The United Nations Women Pakistan notes that women “restricted from taking up positions in the political/public sphere due to systemic challenges arising from patriarchal notions.”

In Pakistan’s patriarchal society, most women have to seek their fathers’ or brothers’ permission to work. Even when conservative families allow their daughters to work, they are asked to stick to so-called gender-suited professions, such as teaching. Since being a lawyer means interacting with men from different walks of life and regularly visiting courts and police stations, women who want to pursue litigation face opposition from their families.

Even if they manage to begin their practice without their family’s support, they have no one to turn to if they face harassment or discrimination in the workplace. Often their only two options are to either quit, or continue struggling silently in a thankless profession where the odds are heavily stacked against them. Most women choose the former.

Maryam Khan, 40, a Lahore-based lawyer who began practicing in 2016, told Foreign Policy she has to “overprepare” her arguments because she knows judges would grill her more than her male colleagues. She remembers representing a leading oil company in a high court where the judge kept asking her if she was the lead counsel in the case. “My name was on the case file. He knew I was the counsel, but he probably did not want to believe that a woman can handle an important case like that,” Khan said.

Several other women lawyers FP spoke to admitted that they experienced a similar condescending tone and line of questioning from judges, who often assume that female lawyers appearing before them are either secretaries of a senior lawyer or clerical aides.

Another form of misogyny that women lawyers face is the assumption that when they win a case, it is because the judge unduly favored them due to their gender, and not because their arguments were convincing. Moreover, women who are well-dressed are not taken seriously and accused of playing the so-called woman card to get a favorable ruling. Young women lawyers also patronizingly get addressed as beta (child) by male counterparts who want to underscore their seniority.

Barrister Fatima Shaheen, 36, now a TV anchor, pursued litigation for six years in Lahore before she realized she could no longer put up with the misogynistic behavior. She recalls an opposing lawyer once jokingly telling her, “If you dress like this, the judge will keep staring at you instead of issuing the order.” These hostilities and an unwelcoming environment force most women to quit practicing, which is why bar lounges, associations, and councils across the country remain a boys’ club.

The rise of religious extremism in Pakistan has had a parallel effect on the legal fraternity and tanked the progress toward fair representation of women lawyers in the field. Since its rise to prominence in 2017, the Sunni extremist group Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) has been able to galvanize significant support among the working and middle classes in the country, and especially in the Punjab province. With the TLP’s rise, lawyers with extremist inclinations became more vocal.

In 2016, a 700-member lawyer alliance was formed to voluntarily prosecute individuals accused of blasphemy. The Khatm-e-Nabuwwat (Finality of Prophethood) Lawyers Forum was created in the lead-up to the TLP’s formation, when extremist clerics were holding protests against the execution of Mumtaz Qadri, the self-confessed murderer of former Punjab Gov. Salmaan Taseer. (Qadri killed the governor in 2011 due to his support to a blasphemy-accused Christian woman.)

Aside from the Khatm-e-Nabuwwat Lawyers Forum, there are other smaller groups of lawyers who describe themselves as the “guardian of the Prophet Muhammad’s honor” and share the TLP’s ideology.

In June last year, the Lahore Bar Association invited TLP chief Saad Rizvi, who has been arrested a number of times for violent protests by his group, to address a session about Islamophobia. Last month, two of the most prominent bar associations of the country wrote separate letters echoing TLP’s demands, and advised the police to not let Pakistan’s Ahmadi community, an already persecuted religious minority, observe the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha.

The increased influence of extremist factions, and the absence of proper protection mechanisms for judges and witnesses, mean that lawyers and judges have to tread carefully—further shrinking the space for women lawyers to form networks and effect change in the legal profession.

Article 25 of Pakistan’s Constitution says that there should be no discrimination on the basis of sex, yet the profession that is supposed to be the custodian of this law fails to curb gender-based discrimination within its own ranks. That there are no steps by representative bodies such as the Pakistan Bar Council to address this severe gender imbalance means that the problem is yet to be acknowledged, let alone resolved.

The situation is not too different in other parts of South Asia. According to recent data released by India’s Ministry of Law and Justice, only 15.3 percent of the country’s lawyers are women. In Bangladesh, the figure is 10 percent. Across the subcontinent, the patriarchal mindset that considers certain professions “unsuitable” for women ends up hindering their access to opportunities.

Women have been at the forefront of the struggle against military dictatorships and the restoration of democracy in Pakistan—and without their active participation in the public and private spheres, the country’s democracy will remain weak.

QUETTA: The families of two forcibly disappeared Baloch youth, Zaman Jan and Abdul Hassan, have announced a sit-in protest on the CPEC Highway M-8, starting tomorrow, December 24. This decision comes after the expiration of a three-day deadline set by the families for their recovery, which yielded no results.

According to the families, the incident occurred on December 16, 2024, in Turbat, when Zaman Jan, son of Sipahan, Abdul Hassan son of Rahmat and Altaf son of Bahram, were detained and disappeared by Pakistani forces. While Altaf was released after two days, Zaman Jan and Abdul Hassan remain missing.

It is noteworthy that this is the third time Zaman Jan has been forcibly disappeared. He was previously detained twice before being released on both occasions.

At a press conference held on December 20, the families said Mir Hothman, Chairman of the District Council Kech, of being involved in the disappearances. They saud that he summoned their loved ones to his residence, where they were subsequently detained and disappeared.

With the expiration of their ultimatum and no progress on the recovery of the missing youths, the families have decided to escalate their protest by blocking the CPEC Highway M-8 at Hoshap, Turbat. The sit-in, set to begin tomorrow, aims to draw attention to their plight and to pressure authorities to take immediate action.

The families have appealed to the public to join the sit-in in solidarity and to support their demand for justice. The protest is expected to disrupt traffic on this key economic corridor and to spotlight the ongoing issue of enforced disappearances in the region.

In a separate incident, Pakistani forces allegedly abducted Dr. Jamil Baloch, a resident of Koh-e-Sulaiman in occupied Balochistan, from a hotel in Lahore, Punjab.

According to eyewitnesses, Dr. Jamil was having tea with a friend at a hotel in Lahore when he was taken into custody and moved to an undisclosed location. His whereabouts remain unknown at the time of filing this report.

Never Believe in Ill-Founded Propaganda, We Are Committed to Your Security: CM Maryam Nawaz Sharif Clears Mist on Fake Student Rape Allegations

Lahore, 16 October 2024: Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif while addressing the press conference said, “The girl's mother made this request to me, so today you are seeing me on the media. The girl, who was made a rape victim, has been admitted to the hospital since October 2 due to sustaining injuries at home. The under treatment daughter at ICU was being presented as a rape victim. The girl's mother requested on the phone that it is your responsibility to take care of the honour of my girls. Such news were spread on the social media, accusations were made and stories were fabricated which did not even exist. The said girl has been undergoing treatment at the hospital due to a spinal injury since October 2. The guard who was accused in the incident was on leave and he was arrested from Sargodha for investigation. The incident did not happen and there was no eye witness as well. Students are requested to have faith in their government as your safety is my responsibility”. CM Maryam Nawaz Sharif said, “The police responded as soon as the report of the alleged rape was received, and the search for the victim girl is ongoing. The so-called campaign was launched to mislead the students. After the failed call of protest and chaos, such a lousy plan was launched. A lousy plan was made to save the sinking, dying politics. Daughters, sisters and mothers are equally respectable, the girl was accused of being a rape victim, dishonoured and lied to. The police wanted to make the father of the girl a plaintiff to the incident but it is a matter of education of thousands of our daughters.”

She added, “The Punjab government will become plaintiff in this incident. I have probed all the medical records and available evidence in every way and will go to the end and will not spare the people involved in it. A storm was raised on the social media over a false incident as a spark ignites a fire on the social media. A story of lies was concocted which did not exist. Even the minor details have been examined down to the bottom of the incident.”

The Chief Minister said, “All such people who were facing allegations have been investigated and I personally attended the meeting of the investigation committee.  As a mother, the incident of the college is very important I am the Chief Executive of the province and it is my responsibility to protect the honour, life and property of 15 crore people. It is our collective responsibility to expose the characters of this conspiracy and bring them to justice. False stories were fabricated to incite the students and a false campaign was launched. When the Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting was being held in Pakistan years later, after the failure of the siege, a ghastly plan was made. When the country's economy improved, inflation decreased, stock exchange improved, protests and arson started. It is my responsibility to protect the honor and reputation of 15 crore people having various ideologies. A child injured in a traffic accident in Gujrat was made a victim of police violence. Child injured due to collision with police van, driver and accomplice were arrested immediately. I have taken update of all the situation till the completion of child’s surgery. People posing as students have been brought to spread chaos in Gujrat. In Gujrat, children were suddenly lured to the streets. Indiscriminate action will be taken against all who are involved in spreading falsehood be it PML-Q supporters or others. When it comes to politics, animalism and satanism, should be discouraged.”

She said, “ On May 9, they sat quietly with their children. Those who are involved in this heinous act will not go scot-free, and the records of all the accounts involved in the incident have been unearthed. The accuser V Loger, has changed his stance and those who were supposed to be arrested have fled, leaving their father in distress and difficulties. Once again children were lured into spreading chaos and anarchy. KPK Chief Minister used public resources to invade Punjab.” The CM said, “I have never witnessed before that one province is attacking another province. I expressed my gratitude to the people of Punjab for rejecting the call of anarchy party. Creating such a situation on the eve of Shanghai Cooperation Organization amounts to unpatriotic attitude. No patriotic Pakistani can indulge into such mischievous activities after seeing the prospects of improvement in the economic conditions of the country. Those who prevent the development of the country are enemies of the country, that is why it is called a terrorist party. Pakistan carries a decent face and will remain so, it is our duty to show a noble face of Pakistan. After the 2018 election, the situation went from bad to worse, and with the efforts of Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif, the situation improved. I am the Chief Minister of everyone of which party they belong to. The owner of Punjab College Mian Amir Mahmood is a respectable man and I will not allow injustice being done to anyone in my government. You know we nabbed the accused in the rape case even in two hours and women and children are my red line, law & order is my foremost priority.”

The CM added,  “The Defamation law is being opposed so that they can freely tell lies and no one can apprehend them. The Defamation law has been passed and will be implemented soon. Accounts in digital terrorism are being operated by sitting abroad. Such people cannot do constructive politics, they play havoc in everything after coming to power. They do not know how to work and are not even taught. These people are self-sufficient doing vandalism and riots. The people of KPK have been deprived of development and due rights. Politics  disregard doing riots, and siege but is the name of launching projects like air ambulance, heart surgery and roads. Politics is the name of undertaking development projects and doing public service. I ask the people of KPK to open their eyes and recognize their rights. The right to freedom of speech is for truth and not for lies.’’  

The Chief Minister said, “Education Minister himself went to the children and listened to their grievances. The social media accounts linked to PTI started spreading chaos and unrest. The cases framed against founder PTI are true, that's why there is a lot of anarchy and unrest is being spread. The facility being provided to the PTI founder should also be provided to the rest of the prisoners. It is our collective responsibility to expose the conspiratorial characters who make up the fabricated story. The children were misled, they did not know the  real issue.  Agitation party is a real problem, social media is not the problem. The false news of the alleged rape victim's death was being spread. An application has been lodged to the FIA to take action against those involved in the incident. PTI leader Zartaj Gul's sister was also given a chance to explain as she does not want to do injustice to anyone. The children were unaware of the issue and were demanding justice. 1122 ambulances with full equipment came from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to invade Punjab. Nawaz Sharif and Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif are trying to improve the situation. Irrespective of political differences, I will speak out wherver injustice is being done.”

The Chief Minister said, “Sometimes they do politics on dead bodies, sometimes they do false politics on children. Those who indulge into such abominable traditions will not be spared. I request the Judiciary that it is a matter to protect honour and all those responsible should not be spared. Misleading mindset is put into practice to influence the young generation. Networks spreading lies have been identified, some networks are operating from outside the country and some are operating from Peshawar. It is not possible to slander someone and get away quietly.”

Senior Provincial Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, Provincial Minister for Information & Culture Azma Zahid Bokhari, Provincial Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat, Chief Secretary, Advocate General, Provincial Secretaries and other relevant officials were also present on the occasion.
