PESHAWAR: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNA Dawar Khan Kundi has called for the removal of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Revenue Minister Ali Amin Gandapur for providing “logistic and physical support to the criminals” involved in parading an orphan girl naked in Dera Ismail Khan.
In a letter dated November 8, addressed to PTI Chairman Imran Khan, Dawar has demanded justice for the orphan girl to avoid “the wrath of Allah”. He stated that Gandapur’s alleged involvement in the “case lowers our head in shame”.
He wrote that the matter was personally investigated by him and he discovered that the PTI minister was responsible for sheltering the accused, and this has brought shame to the party. He demanded stern action against Gandapur for bringing a bad name to the political party and for being indirectly involved in the despicable act.
“I visited the family a week before and they requested me to ensure that Ali Amin Gandapur is forced and asked to withdraw his support from the criminals,” Dawar’s letter reads.
Dawar wrote that “The notorious activities of Ali Amin Gandapur are a source of providing a bad name to the party as a whole.”
He furthered added, “You must ask KP Chief Minister Parvez Khattak to remove Gandapur from his ministerial portfolio and ask forgiveness from the bereaved family.”
Imran Khan has not responded to the letter as yet.
According to the police, the girl’s brother had an affair with a woman. After learning about it, the village council ruled that the woman’s family could get even by disrespecting his sister.
On the morning of October 27, when the victim was fetching water, a group of men accosted her, stripped her and dragged her along the ground before making her parade on the streets naked for an hour.
The police took notice of the issue after the incident sparked an outrage on the social media.
