The barbaric torture inflicted upon an innocent Hindu youth, Vishal Kumar, allegedly by Sardar Raja Khan Mehr, MPA Sindh, is not merely a criminal act—it represents a direct challenge to the writ of the state and the principles upon which Pakistan is founded. Such brutality reflects a deeply entrenched feudal mindset that disregards the Constitution, the rule of law, and the basic dignity of human life under the intoxication of unchecked power.
This incident is not an isolated case of violence; it exposes a dangerous culture of impunity where influence and political power are used as shields against accountability. When elected representatives or powerful individuals believe themselves to be above the law, they cease to be leaders and instead become threats to society.
An Attack on a Citizen, an Attack on the State
The Hindu community of Sindh are among the original inhabitants of this land—known historically for their honesty, resilience, and peaceful contributions to Sindh’s social, cultural, and economic fabric. If a vulnerable Hindu youth can be tortured without immediate consequences today, then tomorrow no poor, powerless, or marginalized citizen—regardless of faith—can feel safe.
This is not an attack on one individual alone. It is an assault on the justice system itself. Any attempt to shield the accused due to political affiliation or feudal influence would signal a moral and legal failure of the state and would severely undermine public trust in institutions meant to protect citizens.
A Call for Immediate Action
We directly call upon the Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party and the rulers of Sindh to take immediate and serious notice of this grave injustice. Leadership is tested not by words, but by action—especially when the victims belong to vulnerable minorities.
We demand:
-
Immediate protection for Vishal Kumar and his family
-
Swift arrest and prosecution of the accused, without delay or favoritism
-
A full, impartial, and transparent investigation conducted strictly under the rule of law
Silence at this moment is not neutrality—it is complicity.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
The Moral Responsibility of the Majority
Is it not the responsibility of the majority to protect the minority?
The people now being targeted are the very people who helped shape Sindh into what it is today. Instead of being protected and provided security, they are increasingly treated as easy targets.
One cannot help but ask: If this is how a powerful individual allegedly treats a citizen, how might such a person treat servants, workers, or subordinates who have even less protection?
The Choice Before Us
The path forward is clear:
Either the rule of law will prevail,
or society will slide toward the law of the jungle, where power replaces justice.
There can be no compromise on human dignity. There can be no selective justice.
A full and fair investigation into this case is not just necessary- it is essential for the survival of justice, equality, and humanity in Sindh.
