RAWALPINDI:
The Rawalpindi district administration has completed its preparations for a grand operation against the land mafia illegally occupying valuable state-owned commercial plots in the city, a spokesperson shared on Sunday.
The operation will be conducted to recover valuable commercial land around Soan River, Korang Nullah, Behti Nadi and Khasra Koth Kalan, the official added.
He told The Express Tribune that Punjab Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) Director General (DG) Gohar Nafees has summoned a report from the Rawalpindi ACU Director over non-progress in a land grabbing case against a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MPA and his brothers.
Killed only because they were Christians. This is the terrible fate of two young sisters in Pakistan who refused to convert to Islam after the constant sexual harassment of some work colleagues. They were kidnapped, handcuffed and strangled in cold blood. A former Muslim imam from Uganda who recently converted to Christianity also suffered the same fate: assassinated only for choosing a religion that the local Muslims do not like.
These murders are particularly disturbing because they were carried out with scientific premeditation and not with instinctual brutality. Their deaths occurred in recent weeks but the cases have emerged only today also due to the embarrassment of the local authorities who do not always actively collaborate in the investigation of the crimes both in Pakistan, where the scourge of Christian girls kidnapped, raped and forced converting to marry Muslims is rampant, but also in Africa where law enforcement officers often do not want to meddle in local rivalries

Rani Bibi was barred from opening the coffin to see the faces of her daughters, slaughtered by Muslim men and buried last week.
Wailing women gathered around trying to comfort her at the Jan. 7 funeral in Makhan Colony, home to more than 500 Christians, in Lahore.
“Their faces were beyond recognition. I couldn’t see them for the last time. In dreams I see them agonizing in pain. I can’t tolerate this,” Bibi told UCA News.
