Jirga man booked but not for holding ‘jirga’

Is the PPP govt giving protection to the Wadera in their ranks?

A Wadera who held a Jirga the other day and ordered two real brothers to bite their shoes was booked by the local police but not in the crime to hold an illegal jriga, local sources said Friday.

The sources said that a local Wadera and leader of the ruling Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Muhammad Bux Mubejo was arrested by the police and an FIR was lodged against him, but surprisingly the police did not mention the holding of the illegal jirga in the FIR. The sources further said the leaders of the ruling PPP and local police officers are trying their best to save the skin of the local PPP leader and are trying to hush up the matter of the illegal Jirga.

The local Wadera and leader of the ruling PPP Muhammad Bux Mubejo had held an illegal Jirga headed by himself at his bungalow at Village Phul and ordered two real brothers whose donkey cart had collided with his car to carry their shoes with their teeth in the presence of hundreds of villagers.

Both real brothers, Suhail and Ayaz, who are manual labourers by profession, obeyed the order of the Jirga, took their shoes with their teeth and apologised to the Wadera for their mistake.

The footage of this inhuman Jirga has become viral and social and political circles have strongly condemned the PPP leader for his inhuman attitude.

However, the city police last night arrested Wadera Muhammad Bux, lodged an FIR against him on the complaint of the state and produced him before a local court on Friday.

The court of the first civil judge Abdul Hafeez Chachar rejected the bail plea of the Wadera and sent him to jail on a 14-day remand.

Meanwhile, the victimised brothers and their relatives in a press conference alleged that the local police are taking sides with the Wadera. They said they went to the police station last night but the police refused to lodge their FIR and later lodged one on behalf of the state in which the crime of holding illegal Jirga was not included to allow the local PPP leader to avoid the serious charge. They appealed to the authorities to give them justice.
