KARACHI: In one week or less, Clifton Assistant Superintendent Police (ASP) Suhai Aziz Talpur will be promoted to the rank of SP, and no one can be prouder than her father, Aziz Talpur.

Mr Talpur is a political activist and writer based in Hyderabad who was excommunicated from his family after he decided to send his daughter to school.

On Friday, as ASP Suhai’s name flashed on every news channel in the country, Mr Talpur says he received phone calls from family members who had once shunned them.

The young officer has been recommended for Quaid-i-Azam police medal, the first for a woman member in the force

Talking to Dawn, he said that his daughter was always interested in helping people. “She’s a chartered accountant by education you know but she was never happy doing that. She told me that she wanted to become a police officer and that’s how we got around to her preparing and then sitting for the CSS exam,” he added.

ASP Suhai was the first police officer to arrive at the spot. Her name has been recommended for the Quaid-i-Azam police medal — the first for a woman in the police force — by IGP Sindh Dr Kaleem Imam for the bravery she demonstrated.

Talking to Dawn, ASP Suhai said: “Around 9am, I got the news that there was an attack at the Chinese consulate. I was already on my way to work so we redirected and rushed to the crime scene. I already had my guards with me, senior officers were on their way. In the meantime we gathered the bomb disposal squad and fire brigade as well.”

She added: “All the credit for today’s success goes to the jawans who lost their lives. They are the real heroes...they kept the militants engaged while we got there.”

ASP Talpur is the first woman from lower Sindh to join the police force. She’s been a serving officer after clearing her CSS in 2013.

Online praise

Users on Twitter were all praise for the young officer who spearheaded a team of law enforcers against the militants who attacked the Chinese consulate in Karachi.

Following the security operation that foiled the terror attack on the Chinese consulate, political leaders took to Twitter to praise the police officer’s heroic efforts.

Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi tweeted: “Pakistan is proud of all it’s brave daughters like SP Suhai Aziz. She was among the first to reach the Chinese Consulate and successfully lead the operation that thwarted the terrorist attack in Karachi today.”

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said: “The reprehensible terrorist attack on the Chinese consulate in Karachi was thwarted by the courageous fight put up by our Sindh police led by the courageous Suhai Aziz. I salute the brave officers who were martyred courageously protecting our friends. We honour them.”

Senator Sherry Rehman tweeted: “In the middle of a hard day, Pakistan’s remarkable women rise to be the silver lining. So proud of Suhai Aziz, the woman who fearlessly spearheaded the vanguard of the successful police operation against terrorists at Chinese consulate.”

Former minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Ahsan Iqbal said: “Pakistan is proud of its brave daughters like Suhai Aziz.”

Do you believe that in today's proactive hyper media, one could pull a stunt like this and not get exposed? Seriously? Today there was a video as well on express of public HD where she can be seen on the crime scene in action. But anyway people usually run away from the action while she moved towards it. Lets give credit where its due and salute to the brave jawans who thwarted the attack and lost their lives. The only thing remains is to give a befitting response to India on this.

badly missing operational protocols .. no operational co ordination between different security agencies on the ground. Security agencies doesn t work that way. It security reporting to Chinese govt mission. All agencies stand by on single security protocol.
Is she running indian movie Dabang or what .......... no body armor or any protective gear. She is walking with gun toward crime scene ....seriously , what is the nonsense ...

So you can criticize the way security handled the whole operation but cannot say this is just for stunt and drama. Sindh police has been politicized so much by the Zardari government so forget about any operational protocols here. It will take time before Police can be brought to international standards that you are referring too.

Sir one more thing. The way Police and Sindh Govt. has discredited the Rangers and taking credit of everything i would not be surprised if Ranger were the Assault Team because it can't be both.

We are lucky that we have no hostage situation all thanks to those 2 Brave police Officer who hold them enough for reinforcement to come and Staff & Civilian to move to safer location.
