Lahore: November 4, 2010. Sarwat Randhawa, father of Asher Randhawa invites intervention of Australian High Commissioner in Pakistan to safe his son from atrocities of administration of one transport company and local police. In a letter to High Commissioner of Australia in Islamabad appeals to end miseries of his family. He writes to his Excellency “ I am an old person having seven children. Due to our faith in Christ, we always face hateful behavior from Muslims. We can’t find good jobs at Government level due to religious biasness even in private sector we are assumed as second citizens. Government announced 5% minority quota in the employment but we are always ignored when we apply for jobs. We don’t have our representatives in national/ provisional assemblies because we can’t elect our members but they are nominated by Political parties so those members spoke whatever party demands from them and they don’t fight for our rights. One of my sons Asher Randhawa was working in Daewoo City Bus Service Lahore, Pakistan since 1999 as senior executive” Here is full appeal to his Excellency: November 1, 2010 Australia High Commission Diplomatic Enclave No.1 Sector G-5/4 P.O.Box 1046 Islamabad Pakistan, Subject: Intolerable Behavior of Management of Daewoo Express Bus Service Lahore, Pakistan and Local Police with Christians. I am an old person having seven children. Due to our faith in Christ, we always face hateful behavior from Muslims. We can’t find good jobs at Government level due to religious biasness even in private sector we are assumed as second citizens. Government announced 5% minority quota in the employment but we are always ignored when we apply for jobs. We don’t have our representatives in national/ provisional assemblies because we can’t elect our members but they are nominated by Political parties so those members spoke whatever party demands from them and they don’t fight for our rights. One of my sons Asher Randhawa was working in Daewoo City Bus Service Lahore, Pakistan since 1999 as senior executive. During his working in Daewoo, senior management of the company (General manager Manawer Shiekh, Deputy General Manager Khurram Mirza, Manager Accounts Tahir Awan etc) under supervision of Chief Executive Mr. C.I.Kim order him to kill/shoot ex-Country General Manager of Daewoo Mr. Anam Shiekh, who is under suit with Daewoo, they ask my son some other illegal jobs also, which he refuse to do. The only reason why they chose my son to do such type of illegal job is that he is Christian and Daewoo management knows that Christians don’t have enough resources to stop them from such type of illegal orders. They also buy a 30 bore pistol with arms license for my son and some other workers. (Annx-1) It Results conflict between him and management of Daewoo Express Bus Service. On July 6, 2010 Deputy General Manager Khurram Mirza called my son Asher Randhawa and his colleague Robin Paras (an other Christian) in his office and asked them why they did not obey his orders. When they refuse to do that, he tortured them with the help of General Manager Munawar Shiekh, Manager Accounts Tahir Awan and some other workers in there so called torture cell (conference room). They snatched their mobile phones and money also. Asher and Robin warn them that they will inform Police about their illegal activities. Deputy General Manager Khurram Mirza and Tahir Awan shoot Asher Randhawa when he came out from Daewoo office at the same day (July 6, 2010). Asher was severely injured and taken to Service Hospital by rescue 1122. An FIR was launched in Naseerabad Police Station against Khurram Mirza and Tahir Awan after long efforts with the help of Senior Police Officers on July 21, 2010 because police refused to register our case. (Annx-2) Management of Daewoo Express Bus Service pay heavy bribe to the investigation Police officer Inspector Zulifqar warya to hide the facts of the case. Although, we are complainants but inspector Zulifqar warya called us again and again in the police station, use rude language with us and said that I will revoke your case. How you can fight with a big company, you poor Christians. We requested him for justice but he laughed at our request. At last we appeal before Senior Superintendent of Police (Investigation) for justice under dairy # 894 on August 5, 2010 (Annx-3) but no body helped us. On August 25, 2010 we appeal before Deputy Inspector General Police (Investigation) under dairy # 978 but in vain.(Annx-4) Instead of justice, inspector Zulifqar warya called me with my injured son in Police station and threat for sever circumstances along with he said that he will discharge our case. At last inspector Zulifqar warya discharge our case without any investigation and take heavy bribe from Daewoo. We have requested honorable Chief Justice Lahore High Court Mr. Justice Khawja Muhammad. Sharif under dairy # 1807on September 6, 2010 which is under process. We have also appealed before honorable Chief Justice Supreme Court Mr. Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry through courier #51438258 on October 30, 2010. On July 20, 2010 Daewoo Express Bus Service Lahore dismissed my son and order to deposit company assets including arms license, pistol 30 bore and salary advanced. Along with the help of Police, they started registering bogus cases against my son. 1) They registered a fake case at Naulakha Police Station Lahore on September 22, 2010 under FIR # 622/10 and PPC 420/468, 471/408. (Annx-5) 2) Second bogus case was registered at Islampura Police Station Lahore on October 10, 2010 under FIR # 1053/10 and PPC 506. (Annx-6) On October 8, 2010, when my son (Asher Randhawa) came out of session court after interim bail for FIR # 622/10 and PPC 420/468, 471/408, some wicked people hired by Daewoo Express Bus Service attacked at him and try to kidnap him. My son file an application at Islampura Police station Lahore at the same day under dairy # 3398-5-BiP dated October 8, 2010, but instead of registering case against Daewoo management, they register case against my son taking bribe from Daewoo on October 10, 2010 under FIR # 1053/10 and PPC 506. (Annx-6) On October 13, 2010, when my son (Asher Randhawa) along with his colleague Robin Paras went to session court for hearing (FIR # 622/10 and PPC 420/468, 471/408), Tahir Awan (Manager Accounts) and Mehmood (Daewoo staff) along with six to seven more persons kidnapped them in a car. One of them was wearing Police uniform. I filed an application for registration of case against Tahir Awan, Mehmood and six to seven unknown persons at Islampura Police Station Lahore on October 13, 2010 under dairy # 4054-5-BiP but Police hesitate to register case against them. I filed a petition # 11442 dated October 18, 2010 under section 22A-22B against SHO Islampura Police Station and court has directed him to register the case on October 23, 2010. Direction was duly received by SHO Islampura Police Station on October 25, 2010 under dairy # 4449-5-BiP. I am afraid that Daewoo people will kill my son. It is policy of Daewoo administration under supervision of Chief Executive Mr. C.I.Kim, that whenever a worker doesn’t accept their illegal orders, they fire him after torture and register case against him. They have fired many workers like this, draw lot of money from company accounts and use that money for bogus cases and making their own property causing financial loss and bad name for company. No one is checking their corruption of million rupees. General Manager Munawer Shiekh always uses rude language for Christian workers. While addressing a general meeting of drivers, fare collector and operational staff he used abusive language for Jesus Christ and Christians. He said that I will employ dogs instead of Christians. We protest against his abusive language against Jesus Christ and Christians at Lahore Press Club on October 9, 2010. Submitted for information and necessary action. With best wishes Sarwat Randhawa Father of Asher Randhawa, Lahore. Pakistan
