New Delhi: ‘It was shocking and panic-some listening to the news that two members of minority community – Mr. Jaspal Singh and Mahal Singh were beheaded by Tahrek-e Taliban of Pakistan in Februarys 21 in Peshawar.We strongly condemn this and all such brutalities against minorities in Pakistan or anywhere in the world’, said Maul. Badruddin Ajmal Al-Qasmi.
In a press statement from his New Delhi office Maul. Ajmal who is a Lok Sabah member and president of All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) and Jamiat Ulama-e Assam came strongly against Pakistan government for not been able to protect life and dignity of its minority citizens. Killing for ransoms or any other reason is by all means unacceptable, what Taliban are doing is plain ‘brutality, in human and unIslamic’, he observed.
The two Sikhs, reportedly, who were kidnapped and beheaded in Pakistan’s restive tribal belt by the Taliban, were brutally killed for refusing to offer ransom. Some more members of the minority community are still in the custody of the rebels, said reports.
The Sikhs were kidnapped 34 days ago and reports had claimed the Taliban had demanded Rs 3 crore as ransom for their release. Two of the kidnapped Sikhs were beheaded after the expiry of the deadline for the payment of the ransom, sources said.
Maul. Badruddin Ajmal said, minority right is constitutionally guaranteed by all democratic countries and by the UNO charter too. A UN member country must not allow such ‘terror’ against its minority population. He said, ‘I hope external affairs ministry of India would take required diplomatic stand while delivering justice to the victim families in Pakistan’.
