Minor girl’s rape and murder in Mardan: rulers’ criminal silence is not forgivable: Bilawal

Islamabad: Lashing out at the PML-N and PTI, Chairman Pakistan People Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari condemned the murder of a minor girl in Mardan and remarked that silence of both provincial governments over recent incidents of rape and murder is unforgivable.

Bilawal Bhutto in his condemnation message regarding rape and murder of the three minor girls in Mardan demanded speed arrest of the culprits.

He said that PPP will not remain mum over these incidents at any cost and will go to the last extent for justice.
He said that both provincial governments will have to take stern steps to avoid these kinds of incidents.

It is pertinent to mention here that a three-year-old girl, found dead in Mardan's Gujar Garhi area Monday morning, was murdered after being raped, according to Mardan District Nazim Himayatullah Mayar.

The district Nazim said that he has seen the postmortem report and it clearly states that the minor was raped.

However, DPO Mardan Mian Saeed negated the claims and said that the girl was strangled to death. He pointed out that the post-mortem report does not point towards rape.

Before this, two innocent girls were killed after rape in the area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattak's constituency.
