The father of Amal Umer, a child who was killed by a bullet fired by the Sindh police, has criticised Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari for speaking up against the Sahiwal incident but not against the killing of the young girl.
“How come there wasn’t a similar statement from Bilawal Bhutto Zardari when my daughter Amal Umer was shot by the Sindh police and denied treatment at NMC” tweeted Umer Adil after Bilawal Bhutto had issued a statement in the wake of the tragic event.
Howcome there wasn’t a similar statement from you @BBhuttoZardari when my daughter #AmalUmer was shot by the Sindh police & denied treatment at NMC.
What has the Sindh Government done so far in 5 mths apart from supporting the hospital?#SindhHealthCareCommission @murtazawahab1 pic.twitter.com/K5Y5IVxWGg— Umer Adil (@_umeradil) January 20, 2019
The PPP chairman had responded to the horrific incident in Sahiwal, where officials of the Punjab Police’s Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) on Saturday sprayed a car with bullets near Sahiwal, killing four people including a couple their teenage daughter and their driver. He said that the PTI had turned Punjab into a police state, and that the “killing of parents in front of their innocent children is a slap on the faces of those making false claims of good governance.”
“What has the Sindh Government done so far in 5 mths apart from supporting the hospital?” Umer Adil went on to ask in his tweet.
“Even at a time of this tragedy all they can do is blame others while countless innocent lives are lost at the hands of this failed system” he said in a different tweet.
“They stay quiet when it happens in their own backyard.”
Even at a time of this tragedy all they can do is blame others while countless innocent lives are lost at the hands of this failed system. They stay quiet when it happens in their own backyard.
