Rahim Yar Khan once again bears witness to a tragic and disturbing incident highlighting the deep-rooted insecurity faced by religious minorities in Pakistan. The body of Krishan Kumar Jaipal, a young member of the Hindu minority community, has been recovered after his mysterious disappearance. His body was found bound, gagged, and bearing clear signs of brutal violence—an image that has shaken the conscience of the nation.
This horrific killing is not an isolated incident. It is part of a painful and recurring pattern of target killings, forced conversions, abductions, and sexual violence against religious minorities, carried out with alarming impunity. The failure to bring perpetrators to justice has turned minority communities into easy targets.
A Pattern of Unpunished Crimes
The real and painful reason behind the continued targeting of minorities is the absence of accountability. Time and again, cases involving minority victims are either delayed, weakened, or completely ignored:
There are many cases, such as:
-
The accused involved in the gang rape and murder of Karishma Bai in Bahawalpur Cholistan remain unpunished, even as anniversaries of the crime pass in silence.
-
In Sialkot, Kashif Masih, Afzal Masih, Akram Masih, Neha Masih, and Shabbir Masih were brutally executed, yet justice remains elusive.
-
Priya Kumari, a seven-year-old minority girl from Sindh, has been missing for over four years, with no recovery or closure.
-
The murderers of Dr. Nimrat Kumari, a dental surgeon, have not been brought to justice even after six long years.
There are many such unresolved cases send a dangerous message: that crimes against minorities can be committed without consequence.
Strong Condemnation and Demand for Justice
We strongly condemn the brutal murder of Krishan Kumar Jaipal in Rahim Yar Khan. This heinous crime demands an immediate, transparent, and impartial investigation by the concerned authorities, including the Crime Control Department (CCD) Punjab and the DPO Rahim Yar Khan.
The higher authorities must ensure full accountability and award the strictest punishment to the culprits. Justice delayed is justice denied- not only to the victims’ families but to society as a whole. Crimes against minorities are crimes against humanity, and silence or inaction will only embolden further violence.
We stand in solidarity with the victim’s family. We demand a fair investigation, swift prosecution, and exemplary punishment for those responsible.
Save Minorities, Save Humanity
The safety of minorities is a measure of a nation’s moral and legal integrity. Protecting vulnerable communities is not a favor- it is a constitutional and human obligation. Pakistan cannot afford to ignore these atrocities any longer.
Save minorities. Save humanity.
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti 😢🙏🏻
Hari Om Shanti 🕉🙏
