Indus Valley has been picture of peace and felicity. Sufi Shah Inayat, Sachal Sarmast, Sami, Hami, Bedal and Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai must be agonizing themselves in the sepulchers after seeing this gruesome condition of people of Indus. Hence, Sufi's Indus will be hunt of elements of religious extremism and wickedness, sexual wolfs and gender terrorists will be defaming the elegance and grace of innocent girls who are considered as honorable and are like beautiful flowers in the corner of Sindh. The mother of Sindh just will shock seeing the corpse of her teenage girl after brutal rape and murder. Will legal action be taken against sexual terrorists who throw the dead bodies of girls helplessly at multifarious places? The burning fire in Sindh has besieged Indus Valley from the four sides, every day the wail of death rates in the uncorrupted people in its traditional way. At the beloved land of Sindh, one or other girl has to be the reason of sacrifice to buttress the blood's river. The blood's river flows like the waves of Indus River and seeing its intractable flow, Indus River must be weeping at dribbling blood in Sindh. Qalander Lal Shahbaz must be weeping bloody tears in his glory. The actual heirs of Sindh are Hindus who have been part of ancient civilization of Sindh practically. They have inexhaustibly contributed in the progress of Sindh. Today, Hindus, the heirs of Sindh are immolating their offspring (especially girls) along with their lives and chattels. Hence, finding a corpse has become a daily routine. Sometimes, corpse in Umerkot is waiting for justice and sometimes is found to be full of bullets in north Sindh. It also happens sometimes that immature girls are abducted and their appraisal is in form of getting married. In the same way, sacred land of Sindh has been shortened for Hindu minorities. The recent incident happened in Mirpurkhas has been black mark on the human conscience, which has witnessed the death of a child because of unavailability of ambulance at hospital and two others death while seeking child for treatment by striking of a truck. Persons in Ghotki who lessens the earth for minorities, extremists and wicked persons have made the sky incongruous for properties, lives, belongings as well as girls of minorities.
O Allah Almighty, "Come down and see your created world" a famous quotation in sindhi, used by victims of murdered innocent girls after every incident.
Seeing the dead body of Nimrita, human wisdom and respected dwellers of Sindh were as feeling wrenched as a fish feels out of water helplessly. How long the dead bodies will be carried over the sacred ground of Indus? How many houses will be razed to the ground? After all, how many mothers will be deprived of their laps? Which houses, families and mother's pain are written? And how many girls' historical pages be read runnel of their blood? Seeing such incidents full of barbarism, soul shrinks. It does not happen in any Human society. The victimization in Sindh for girls has brought the harbingers of the day of resurrection. The fire burnt in Indus valley is not limited to houses but now sexual assaults and wolf's lust encompasses in incidents taking place in educational institutions are not concealed now at the homicide of girl attempted in Chandka Medical College (new name as Shaheed Muhtruma Benazir Bhutto University of Larkana) is severely condemnable. Neutral and transparent investigations should be done in Nimrita's murder case in order to support the prevention of daily routine based incidents and castigate real legal lesson full punishment to the criminals. The performance of knowledge acquiring institutions is not going to be better but ranking in the case of death is used to be changed. Our ethics has reached the extent that human barbarism has come out of them even in institutions, learning houses and training places which has defamed the respect and glory of girl, innocent children along with women and youngsters. This blood's river is supposed to be barricaded and Sindh government should come into human sense so that proof of human conscience is alive be gotten. Law enforcement departments along with entire Sindh government have duty to make collective policy in order to take strict actions against the elements of extremism and wickedness legally. The action of long term policy is guaranteed to rescue the glory and respect of girls and women including minorities. State's first and foremost duty is to save lives, belongings and honors.
