RAHIM YAR KHAN: Obtaining water from a mosque tap landed a farm workers family from the Hindu community in trouble as some village landlords allegedly tortured and held them hostage for “violating the sanctity” of the place.
The incident took place a few days back when Alam Ram Bheel, a resident of Basti Kahoor Khan in the city suburbs, was picking raw cotton (phutti) along with his other family members, including his wife, in a field of Chak 106-P. Ram said when the family went outside a nearby mosque to fetch drinking water from a tap, some local landlords and their men beat them. When the family was returning home after unloading the picked cotton, the landlords held them hostage at their dera (outhouse) and tortured them again.
Later, some Muslim residents of Basti Kahoor Khan got the Bheel family released.
Ram Bheel said the Airport police station did not register the case as the attackers were related to a local PTI parliamentarian.
Ram said he held a sit-in outside the police station, along with another clan member Peter Jhon Bheel to protest the highhandedness.
Also a member of the district peace committee, Peter Jhon Bheel told Dawn that they approached PTI MNA Javed Warriach who helped them lodge the FIR under sections 506, 154, 379, 148 and 149 of the Pakistan Penal Code on Friday last.
Jhon said he requested other members of the district peace committee to call an emergency meeting over the issue but they did not take him seriously.
PTI’s south Punjab minority wing secretary general Yodhister Chohan told Dawn the incident was in his knowledge but due to the influence of a ruling party MP he preferred to stay away.
District Police Officer Asad Sarfraz said that he was looking into the matter.
Deputy Commissioner Dr Khuram Shehzad said he would meet Hindu minority elders on Monday (today) before taking any action.
He said after the Bhong temple issue, the district administration had received some complaints from the minority community which proved fake when investigated.
Answering a question about the 'inactive' peace committee, the DC claimed it was “fully functional”.
Confirming the happening, Farooq Rind, a senior lawyer and former district bar president, said he also belonged to Basti Kahoor where the Bheels had been living for more than a century. He said most the clan members were farm workers and extremely poor.
Rind said the accused landlords were notorious for picking up fights with other villagers over petty issues. He promised free legal aid for the complainant family.

Kia chuty@pa Hy.... Landlords acting like a lord. Strict action is needed, everyone can enter mosque (excluding those with intentions of damage or abuse). Taking water from mosque is no bad thing.

The question is where have we learnt this bad habit from? Separate water source for people who don't share your views on religion

Although that it may appear that the act was done by Muslims, it was NOT.

I mean, if a person does not even know Islam then how can he/she be considered Muslim and so his/her actions shouldn't be judged as of a Muslim. Karbala se bhi nahi seekha in janwaron ne!

Mosque is the house of Allah, it's a place of mercy, every creature is allowed to go in. Specially these people went there to quench their thirst. I am not aware of anything in Islam that prohibits non-Muslims from entering mosques.

totally inhuman (if true)
Pakistan should not become another India or Afghanistan.

shame on him too, it seems seat and power is more important for him then support his own countryman.
Feudalism, whether the old-style one in villages or the new-style one in urban white-collar work companies, exists sadly.
can you explain it? i think you talking about corporate world.
