Victim Christian family claims that Punjab Police accompanied and facilitated land mafia group of 50 men to attack their home.



Video: Attackers Firing Bullets

Is Punjab Government going to arrest the Group of more than 50 men under Terrorism charges involved in murder of 18 year Christian girl i.e. Sonia & injured three other family members, accused were heavily armed; firing illegal automatic weapons. 


Lahore, Barki Road, Village Noor Baksh Challar Punjab, Pakistan.  Since 2016 a land dispute was going on among Christian Family representative Saddique Masih and Muhammad Arshad. Court decision was favoring Saddique Masih to be the lawful owner of the property but Muhammad Arshad ego was hurt as he was not ready to accept defeat by a Christian and decided to use force for what he believe should be in his possession instead of Christian family. 




At night a group of approximately 50 men (claimed by affected family), heavily armed with automatic weapons (which by law are illegal and prohibited to carry or use) launched a massacre targeting vulnerable Christian family of Saddique Masih, As seen in the video shared above Christians were unarmed, holding few sticks in hands hoping to defend their home and family which proved of no use against guns and direct firing.

Discrimination based upon Christophobia, mostly Christians in Pakistan are deliberately refused by related authorities to apply and obtain gun license for self defense which leads to the situation of Christian population as sitting ducks in Pakistan. Please watch the video (shared above) for an example.    

In result of this brutality and 18 year old girl Sonia was killed (She was to get married after three months and our heart is deeply saddened to see her end up like this) and 3 other family members are injured. Now Let’s wait and see if the Punjab government acts accordingly against this group and as claimed by the victims the involvement of Punjab Police officials who accompanied the attackers should be equally weighted and responsible facilitators should be arrested and charged as well.

Secondly, The key point is going to be the effort and skill that Punjab Government is going to use to arrest this group of culprits. As we do remember that few years back when a Church was targeted by suicide bombers and many Christians were killed and injured at Youhanabad, Lahore. After the suicide blasts the outraged crowd captured two of the alleged facilitators (belonging to majority population) of suicide bombers and killed them (Which was a completely wrong act to take law into own hands and murder of two human being cannot be justified by no means what so ever).  

After that incident Punjab government acted accordingly and used all tactical and technical tools including the footages of the passing by Christian spectators which were also arrested and are behind bars for almost four years and all sort of tactics are still being applied on them to accept and take responsibility of the murder of those two alleged facilitators. We must expect similar efforts by Punjab government to use all tactical and technical efforts to arrest accused Muhammad Arshad and all men in that group(approx. 50 men) who were involved in attacking Christian family and murder of Sonia.        

Let’s wait and see.

Edwards College Peshawar, Pakistan’s Judicial and Political Perspective.




PESHAWAR: Regretting the ‘declining’ educational standards at the Edwards College, Peshawar, the Peshawar High Court has directed the government to take corrective measures to restore the glory of the province’s oldest college.


“The authorities at the helm of affairs are directed to seriously look into the matter and make strenuous efforts to restore the trust of students and their parents and revive the past glory of the oldest college of the province,” a bench observed in the detailed verdict of the case regarding the status of the college.

Justice Qaiser Rasheed and Justice Ahmad Ali declared that the Edwards College was nationalized through the Privately Managed School and Colleges (Taking Over) Regulation, 1972, which was endorsed by parliament through the 1973 Constitution.

The bench had pronounced a short order on the two petitions on Oct 1 dismissing a petition filed by Peshawar Diocese Bishop Humphrey Sarfraz Peter and accepting another filed by the college’s faculty members over its administrative status.

Bishop Humphrey Sarfaraz had requested the court to declare the college set up in 1900 a private educational institution in light of an earlier court judgment delivered in 2016 and to stop the government from interfering in its affairs.

The college’s faculty members, including vice principal Shakil Ahmad Nisar, had challenged the stand of the bishop saying all privately-managed schools and colleges were taken over by the government in 1972.

They had requested the court to declare the college an autonomous institution governed by the board of governors (BoG) notified in 1974.

The provincial governor had headed the BoG until Mar this year when the Diocese committee abolished it and formed a new board headed by the bishop.

The bench observed that the Edwardes College stood out as the oldest educational institution of the province and remained the cradle of knowledge and learning for over a century having produced generations of luminaries who had served the country at the highest and important posts.

It added that students used to be vying eagerly to get admission in this college due to its highest standard and merit but suddenly, things had come to such an abysmal state, where the students had opted to migrate to other colleges to save their future in view of its deteriorating educational standards and poor results in the board and university exams.

The bench ruled that as the record unfolds, pursuant to Para-4 of the Privately Managed Schools and Colleges (Taking Over) Regulation 1972 (Regulation no 118) from Sep 1, 1972, all private-managed colleges, together with all property attached to them should vest in the Central Government, if they were situated in Islamabad Capital territory and in the provincial government, if they were situated in a province.

The court observed that admittedly, the provincial government of the erstwhile NWFP through a notification in Jan 1974 constituted the BoG for Edwardes College, Peshawar headed by the Governor as its chairman and all the administrative powers to be vested in the Board. The said notification as published in official Gazette on Apr 2, 1976.

The bench ruled that since then for four decades, all the decisions regarding the college had been taken by the said Board including the appointment of its principals from time-to-time. “Such power and authority of the BoG was never called in question before any forum,” the bench ruled adding that the government also sanctioned and released Rs 300 million as one time grant-in-aid for the up gradation of the college to the status of a full-fledged university.

The bench observed that the incumbent principal of the college was also appointed by that board.

It accepted an application of the government to set aside the earlier court judgment through which the college was declared a private institution and ruled that a petition filed by educationist Malik Naz on the matter would be decided afresh on its own merit.

Christian Head Mistress Victim of Christophobia based Systematic Discrimination in Pakistan.



A Christian woman, Rubina Anjum serving as Government School's Head Mistress at  Bngali, Pakistan requests and demands for justice through a video message claiming to be victim of Christophobia based systematic discrimination that exists against Christians in Pakistan.

In her statement Rubina Anjum stated that,” I am serving this school for last 15 years as Head Mistress,  I had a wonderful time, my all staff are Muslim, all surrounding population is Muslim, my all students are Muslim. I am only Christian but I had a wonderful time, I received so much love over the years. I am the wife of a Pastor of Cathedral system, they offered me to join them but I refused, I started this school from scratches.

Especially after Disaster 2005 earthquake, I’ve passed its construction design myself, after 2005 earthquake there were no funds I engaged and mobilized local community to initiate construction of this school, they offered me funds but I requested them and to help in rehabilitation of this school practically and I love every single brick laid in this school’s foundation. With the passage of time our school flourished with 100 % results. All my senior officials who visited our school appreciated me and my team’s efforts.

To prove that there is a log book present in all government’s schools and there is one in our school as well. Anyone can see the comments on that.

2018 Maria Rasheed joined as AEO. She visited my school, I introduced myself. She came again next day and demanded expense record of previous years from 2015 to 2017. There is a consistent electricity load shedding problem in bangali defence phase one. 

I told her that I’ll make backup copies and handover the official reports but she pressurized and insisted to be delivered instantly and she deliberately buried my official expense record,  I asked her to return my expense details to which she replied make new (fake) receipts. I said how is this possible?

On each visit she strengthened a plot against me by pressurizing me to apply for retirement, and in front of my staff she address me using derogatory term Chouri specifically used against Christian faith in Pakistan.

She tried to influence my staff to write a complaint against me and she even nominated Ms. Nargis to become head mistress  in my place but Ms. Narigis refused stating that (Rubina Anjum) is very nice to us I won’t do it.

This is my official stamp and my designation of Head Mistress is engraved on it , Maria Rasheed told me that You are not Head Mistress, Your are S.S.T &  officially should have  derogatory term Chouri engraved on my stamp. 

I was stunned by her remarks and questioned myself what is this?

One day she came and I offered her a cold drink, she refused stating that she can’t drink water in my school because it is a sin for her to drink from my school.

She has mentally abused and tortured me so much that I’m suffering from high stress and due to my disgrace I was not able to share this situation with my husband and children. Quietly I decided to apply for retirement. She came with a clerk and said I can’t apply for retirement because she wants to make an example of me by making false accusation of mismanagement which will ruin my service.

She has insulted me so much & I am so tense that my sugar level is far more high than normal due to this tension. If I don’t get justice I’ll commit suicide, I’ll commit suicide.

I asked (Maria Rasheed) her why you are doing this to me what is my fault? She replied,” Your biggest fault is that (as a Christian) you don’t deserve to be serving at this higher position”.

Yes this is a reality in Pakistan. In government sector Christian men and women are treated like this. Systematic discrimination and persecution is planted against Christians in Pakistan, especially in Education and Health sector. 

Please watch the Video for Rubina Anjum’s complete statement shared above.

A crowd in Pakistan ransacked a school and Hindu temple after a Hindu principal was accused of religious blasphemy by his student because boy was not performing well in studies and Hindu principal was keeping an eye on the boy for the sake of his better future. This latest case raised concerns about the fate of religious minorities in Pakistan.
The principal had been taken into defensive custody and police were examining both the alleged blasphemy and the rioters.

“It seems the principal had not done anything intentionally,” said by the district police chief, Furrukh Ali. Hindus make up about 1.6 percent of Pakistan’s population of 208 million, this incident left the Hindus of Ghotki reeling in shock and suffering after their properties, homes, lives and temples were ransacked.
However, local majority population of the community are now showing their support for their Hindu neighbors with an act of kindness by gathering at the Hindu temples to make sure that the Hindu community there had their protection.

In a suspected hate crime, a Hindu medical student belonging to Ghotki, Sindh was found dead in her hostle room with a rope tied to her neck while her room was locked from inside. Namrita, a final year student of Dental College was found dead in her hostel room. Local police said it was too early to say whether she had committed suicide or murdered.

However, her family has alleged that Chandani was killed because she was a minority. Speaking to media, her brother alleged that she had been murdered.

He said that while his sister was wearing a dupatta, the marks around her neck resembled that of a cable wire.

"There are marks on other parts of her body too like a person was holding her. We are a minority, please stand up for us," he said.

The body was shifted to the district headquarter hospital for postmortem, but the police awaited her parents to arrive from Karachi for their consent.

Nimrata was discovered when her colleagues knocked at her room's door and grew worried when she did not respond for several minutes.

They somehow managed to look inside the room from the crevice in the door.

"She was neither responding to the knocking at the door nor to our shouting," her friend told the police.

The hostel's watchman later broke open the door, only to find the student lying dead.

Larkana DIG Irfan Ali Baloch has given the incident's inquiry to SSP Masood Ahmed Bangash.

The vice-chancellor of the medical college Anila Attaur Rehman said the incident appeared to be one of suicide but the police and the medico-legal report will be able to ascertain the actual cause of death after the postmortem.

A religiously converted name of Iman Fatima proves her conversion as Reno Kumari was recovered from Sialkot where she was kept safe at Dar-Ul-Aman (Gov.Protection Center for Women) & handed over after the official documentation and her statemet that she wants to go back with her family.

After the recovery and return of Sikh girl Jagjit Kaur to her family, the return of Reno Kumari proved a sigh of relief for Hindu  community of Pakistan as they are highly grateful to all Government law enforcement agencies,  stakeholders and departments for making it possible for safe return of Reno. 

The key role of Punjab government must be appreciated in this regard especially after the news went viral on social media the authorities moved swiftly and established all necessary links and measures to make it possible for Reno Kumari to be reunited with her family.

The return of both these girls was possible due to effective lobbying and protest of Sikh and Hindu communities all over the world.

Efforts made to Reinstate Christian educational institutions by Christian Minister in Punjab, Pakistan.


A Christian Member Punjab Assembly, Ejaz Alam Augestine is the current active Minister Human Rights/ Minorities Affairs/Interfaith harmony of Punjab province in Pakistan. Striving hard by following issues of human rights violations and issues faced by minorities in Punjab province, on daily basis he’s busy with helping victims in the matters such as registration of police complaints and much more. 



On 3rd September 2019 a copy of Chief Minister Punjab office order emerged on scene in response to Ejaz Alam Augestine efforts requesting the CM Punjab to reinstate the Christian educational institutions in Punjab province. 

This is a very good step, During 70s, the government of Pakistan nationalized various Christian institutions and now after almost 50 years the newly elected Prime Minister Imran Khan has repeatedly stated that he wants to make Pakistan a country where the Christians and other religious minorities feel and believe themselves as equal citizens.  

The positive development in this regard is that the Chief Minister Punjab has issued this office order demanding a detailed summary of the institutions which were nationalized back in 70s for further processing and may be may be if Christians in Pakistan are lucky enough the long forgotten historical institutions with Christian identity might be reinstated to Christians which over the years served and helped the Pakistani nation after independence in 1947.  

This is a positive gesture from the side of Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf’s government in Punjab which has certainly given some confidence to Christians living in Punjab Province.



On the other hand the long disputed issue of Edward College, Peshawar still demands the equal attention from the sitting Government of Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf in KPK Province. As there are reports that after Court orders which clearly directed the Gov.KPK to not interfere in private administrative matters of Peshawer Diocese Church’s Edward College but Gov. KPK is still trying to revoke the institutions Christian identity and wants to get control of it at any cost.

The National level Government of Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf must focus on the situation of Edward College Peshawer’s issue as well. 

Since 1947 Christians have served Pakistan in all forms whether it was Education, Skill development, Health, Defense and much more.

All Christians living in Pakistan demand the basic human right of respect and treatment as per humanity values and practical efforts of Government towards elimination of deep rooted #Christophobia that exists in Pakistani Society.
