Kasur: (By Mushtaq Gill) In a troubling incident reported from the district of Kasur’s Tehsil Patoki, a Christian girl, Kanza Mushtaq, has come forward with allegations of harassment by a local Muslim young man. The incident, which has drawn attention for its controversial aftermath, raises concerns about both the treatment of vulnerable individuals and the response of law enforcement.

According to Kanza’s family, when they approached the local police with their complaint, they were met with an unexpected and concerning reaction from the local police sub-inspector. Instead of initiating legal proceedings against the accused, the sub-inspector allegedly attempted to pressure the girl to convert to Islam and marry the individual in question. This attempt to resolve the situation outside of legal bounds has sparked outrage, particularly among human rights advocates and community leaders.

Sardar Mushtaq Gill, the founder of LEAD Ministries Pakistan, has strongly condemned the police's handling of the case, emphasizing the critical need for impartiality and justice throughout the investigation process. In a detailed statement, he expressed deep concern over the manner in which the authorities have managed the situation thus far and called for a fair and transparent approach. Gill urged the relevant authorities to take immediate and appropriate action, ensuring that the law is fully upheld, should the allegations made by the Christian girl be substantiated. He underscored the importance of ensuring that all parties involved receive equal treatment under the law, regardless of their background or faith.

This case underscores ongoing concerns regarding the protection of religious minorities in Pakistan, especially when it comes to sensitive issues such as forced conversion and abuse. The public outcry surrounding the police's alleged misconduct has amplified calls for reforms within law enforcement and a stronger commitment to justice for all citizens, regardless of their faith.

As the investigation continues, many are watching closely to see how authorities handle the situation, and whether justice will be served for Kanza Mushtaq and her family. The case remains a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggles faced by minority communities in the country, as well as the critical need for fair and unbiased law enforcement.
