Appeal for protection

Published November 5, 2006

MITHI, Nov 4: Two sisters and their brother, living in the Harpar village in Mithi taluka have urged the provincial authorities to provide them protection and not to take notice of baseless allegations levelled by their father and some others against their brother-in-law.

Speaking at a press conference here on Saturday, Rabia, 22, daughter of Nazir Ahmed, Lubna, 9, and Suleman, 15, said that 14 months ago, they used to live in the New Dunbalo village with their parents when their sister Sabeeha married at her own will with Allan, son of Pasayo Junejo, of the Harpar village. She is living with her husband since then.Apparently enraged at their sister's marriage with Allan, their father, Nazir, pushed his wife Safia, 60, along with Rabia, Lubna and Suleman out of house, saying that he was disassociating from them, they said.

They said after driving them out of the home, their father, Nazir, sold his house and went to Punjab. After becoming homeless, their mother used to live in Mithi for sometime. She practiced Hikmat for livelihood. Later she died due to illness.

They said they had been living in the village with their sister, Sabeeha, and her husband, Allan, at their own will and nobody has abducted them.
