Rahul Gandhi calls Punjab Polices brutality victim, seeks justice

Chandigarh, Sep 5 (IANS) Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Saturday spoke with Mohanjit Singh, the alleged custodial victim of the brutality of the Punjab Police. Mohanjit Singh alleged that he was tortured while in police custody, including being subjected to electric shocks and being forced to consume drugs. The allegations have triggered a political storm, with almost all Opposition parties demanding an independent investigation. Meanwhile, the Congress announced that its workers across the state would show black flags to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann everywhere he goes to express solidarity with Mohanjit Singh. The partys state President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, who met Mohanjit Singh here, told the media that Rahul Gandhi hailed the courage shown by Mohanjit Singh in standing up for the truth and conveying his message. He has asked the Congress in Punjab to ensure that he gets justice. The state President said that CM Mann had started behaving like Ahmad Shah Abdali and his countdown had started. He said Mann was not the first Chief Minister to be shown a black flag, as several Chief Ministers and even Prime Ministers have been shown black flags in the past. But, he added, nobody reacted the way Mann did. He said ideally the Chief Minister should have shown grace and dignity and called Mohajit Singh and asked him why he was protesting. But instead, CM Mann unleashed the brute police force on the youth, who was subjected to brutal third-degree torture in police custody and even given electric shocks. Besides, he added, his eardrum has also been damaged due to brutal manhandling by the police. Rejecting the inquiry ordered by the police into the incident, Warring demanded that the Station House Officer (SHO) concerned and the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) must be dismissed. He said such people do not deserve to be in the police. Warring also promised that in case the AAP government does not take any action against both policemen, the Congress will initiate action if the party comes to power. Warring said the Congress may meet the Governor to ensure action and justice for Mohanjit.

Akali Dal activists seek bribery case registration against Punjab CM's wife

Chandigarh, Sep 5 (IANS) Activists of the Istri Akali Dal, the official women's wing of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), led by Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Saturday marched to the residence of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to demand his resignation as well as registration of a criminal case against his wife Gurpreet Kaur, who is facing allegations of demanding Rs 5 crore to suppress a rape case. However, Gurpreet Kaur has already rejected the allegations, saying the charges are baseless. Meanwhile, the police put up barricades to stop the Istri Akali Dal members led by Harsimrat Badal, MLA Ganieve Kaur and the Women Wing President Hargobind Kaur from marching towards the Chief Minister's residence following which they staged a sit-in on the road and courted arrest. The women continued to hold the protest even after the senior SAD leaders were detained. Speaking on the occasion, Harsimrat Badal said the Chief Minister's office had become a den of corruption where crores were being sought by the latter's wife to let off a predator against whom two women had filed rape and kidnapping charges. She added that recent audio and visual evidence had revealed how Gurpreet Kaur's brother-in-law had sealed a deal with a colleague of the accused rapist and media influencer Guri Chahal for Rs 5 crore. Everyone has seen how Gurpreet Mann's relative Amardeep Grewal negotiated with the predator's colleague while sitting in a restaurant with the Chief Minister's wife and even shared a picture of the latter to establish his credentials, she alleged. Harsimrat Badal said, We have also seen how following the sealing of the deal with the Chief Minister's wife, the accused was let off within two months and was also allowed to flee to the United States. Asserting that the Akali Dal would launch a mass movement across the state until Gurpreet Kaur was not arrested, she also demanded the arrest of all other accused in the case, besides the dismissal of the police officers who had filed cancellations reports to favour the rape accused and facilitate his release from jail. Harsimrat Badal also called for extending protection to the rape victims who had registered complaints against the media influencer, besides demanding a CBI probe into the entire incident. It has also come to light that five women had personally complained to the Chief Minister against the same 'predator' but the latter did not take any action in the matter. This should also be probed to ascertain why the CM's office was siding with rapists. Meanwhile, warning people that the fire could reach their houses also, Istri Akali Dal leader Hargobind Kaur and Ganieve Kaur Majithia appealed to the people of Punjab to unite and fight for the cause of the wronged women as well as putting an end to corruption in the Chief Minister's office and residence.

Western govt support enabling deeply misogynistic culture across Pakistan: Report

Washington, Sep 5 (IANS) Western governments must recognise that their financial and military support for Pakistan is enabling a deeply misogynistic culture in which women and children are subjected to violence and abuse in the South Asian country, a report has stated. Pakistan requires extensive legal, social, economic, educational and political reforms to address violations of womens rights. Until meaningful changes are made, foreign women travelling to Pakistan must exercise extreme caution, as they could potentially face blasphemy allegations, physical violence or sexual assault, Turkish journalist Uzay Bulut wrote for American media outlet PJ Media recently. She noted that the targeted killings of social media influencers have intensified in recent years, triggering serious concerns over womens safety in Pakistan. On August 14, a 28-year-old content creator, Shamso Bibi, with more than 1.3 million followers, was shot dead by two men in Taxila, near Pakistan's capital Islamabad. Bibi, also known online as Ayesha Gilamana, was killed allegedly over a financial dispute, her brother Niamatullah said as he appealed to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif to intervene in the case and ensure justice. Citing Pakistani media reports, Bulut said that two unidentified men on a motorcycle opened fire on Bibi, while she was traveling with her younger siblings, marking the latest case in a wave of gender-based killings in Pakistan. The killing of Bibi follows a string of cases involving female social media content creators, amid mounting concerns about harassment, violence and the broader risks confronting women in Pakistan. Highlighting escalating violence against women across Pakistan, Bulut said, Each year, hundreds of women and girls are killed in Pakistan, often by relatives who say they are protecting the family's honor. Deadly violence and physical abuse against women and girls by their family members are widely underreported and often treated by local authorities as private family matters rather than crimes. These abuses are mainly rooted in Islam. Pakistan adopted an Islamic Constitution in 1973 and Sharia (Islamic) law in its civil code. In line with Sharia's systematic oppression of women, Pakistani women and girls face severe, systemic human rights violations such as domestic abuse, sexual abuse, honor killings, abductions, forced conversions, and harassment, which remain widespread and largely unpunished, she added. The report noted that young girls from religious minority communities in Pakistan, particularly Hindus and Christians, continue to be systematically targeted through abductions, forced religious conversions, rape and forced marriages. Stressing that these are not isolated incidents, PJ Media cited political scientist Gianna Francesca Catolico, who said Pakistan, a state party to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), has a long and disturbing record of abuses against women and girls, particularly women human rights defenders (WHRDs). Catolico said that these abuses range from sexual violence, incest, forced conversions and forced marriages involving girls under 18 to a despicable series of honour killings, some of which have even been carried out by Pakistani diaspora families in developed countries.
