NOWSHERA, Aug 6: The Defence of Pakistan Council (DPC) will raise voice at every forum against brutalities being committed against Burmese Muslims.

This was said stated by chief of DPC and his own faction of Jamiat Ulem-i-Islam Maulana Samiul Haq, while talking to a delegation of Tanzeem-i-Islami Mahaz, Burma, at Darul Uloom Haqania here on Monday. The delegation was led by prominent religious scholars Maulana Shafi Ullah and Maulana Noor Ullah.

MR Sami assured them that he would make a visit to Karachi immediately after Eid to meet with all Islamic scholars of Burma, and other organisations to devise a strategy to help protect the Muslims of Myanmar.

The delegation briefed the JUI-S leader about the latest situation in Burma and said majority of Muslims were living in starving conditions. They said whole villages inhabited by Muslims were set ablaze. They said Muslims could not pray at mosques as the Burmese government had clamped curfew in the areas.

GIRL’S DEATH: The death of a young married girl has become a cause of tension between her parents and in-laws.

Recording his statement to police at the DHQ hospital, Noor Ullah, husband of the victim, Mahajera Bibi, 19, resident of Azakhel Bala, said she committed suicide by hanging herself with a fan. He said she took the extreme step after having a quarrel with other women at sehri time.

While, Gul Meena, mother of the victim, told police her daughter was killed by her husband as he always subjected her to violence at home.

The Azakhel police said real cause of her death would be known after the autopsy report.
