Unbelievable case of child abductions

Why is the government quiet?

 

If the mystery of child abductions across Punjab, especially Lahore, is really nonsense – as some in government and most in the police have been saying – they why doesn’t the government put an end to it once and for all? And if there is truth to it – as is becoming increasingly evident with time – why has the government not uttered a single serious word about the matter despite hundreds, if not more than a thousand, abductions? Clearly the government is far more concerned about its own political survival. And as pressure stemming from the Panama Leaks mounts – and the opposition begins agitating – missing children of not so important people are not very high on the agenda, it seems.

Increasingly, news and social media is filled with stories of more child kidnappings. Sometimes there is word of a mafia operating, running gangs of criminals. Some say vans suddenly arrive, people jump out, grab little children, and speed away. Other, far more disturbing accounts, tell of organ trade and dead children. Yet none of this has bothered the government enough to offer a formal statement acknowledging or denying such reports. People in Lahore, especially, are now terrified. Some are also calling for delaying opening the schools till this matter is settled first. Everybody is upset; just not the government.

People, naturally, have taken to vigilantism. Social media tells of people being caught red handed and roughed up by the people; the police nowhere to be seen. In one incident, caught on film, the law did not arrive for two hours after an attempted kidnapping was foiled. While two of the three alleged culprits got away, people beat the one that was caught within an inch of his life. The police did slightly better in KP, arresting a seven-member gang, five of which were females, some in the health department. These are chilling facts. Yet even more frightening is that they do not bother the government at all.

  1. The truth is majority kids abducted in Punjab are taken to KP. Mostly kids are abducted by people riding Suzuki vans, pick ups and double cabins. Police must be alerted as to above especially at toll plaza's. A punishment meted out by Gen. Zia ul Haq to these hoodlums will resolve the issue once and for all.

  2. Abduction of children is an other form of terrorism. Any criminal apprehended on such charges deserves death sentence. I am not sure of the existing laws on the subject, but considering the gravity of the offence and the gruesome cruelty involved demands nothing short of the death penalty . Public vigilantism to eradicate this menace should be regulated through legislation, because police alone will not be able to handle it.

  3. Ye kesi com hai.goverment ko action len chahye wese to har wakth goverment chutyape karti rehti hai school ke bahar se itne bache kidnapp ho rahe hain school me parents aa kar larr rahe hain. Humare bache nahi hum zaada darre hue hain

  4. these people should be hanged in public and their must be a cell to tackle such incidents as occured on immediate basis these policeman should also be punished who do not take any action or hear poor victims voice without getting bribery

  5. i have family in kashmir and have just heard that children are being abducted for organ trade and somehow nigerians are involved.

  6. one of my in laws (who work in a school in Malir, Karachi) told me that day before yesterday on Aug 18, 2016 approximately 10 kids of his school were abducted from outside the school and 3 kids were abducted on Aug 17, 2016, and yesterday my first cousin reported me that a whole school van full of kids is hijacked and all its children are missing till now… strange things is "no news on media".. no active action by govt. reported… May Allah (SWT) give patience to their parents and help the others..

  7. Shame on this government. Police and all other security departments are totally failed to provide the basic security to the citizens of Pakistan. Really sad!!!! No any official statement is given by this so called government. whoever is caught red-handed should be hanged to death right away without an excuse.
