SINDHI FOUNDATION SEEKS JUSTICE FOR ABDUCTED HINDU GIRL
The Business Guardian
|August 21, 2024
Protesters in Houston demand justice for kidnapped Hindu girl Priya Kumari, calling for UN investigation into alleged abduction by powerful Pakistani political family.
The Sindhi Foundation, on Monday, organized a protest in front of the Consulate General of Pakistan in Houston, Texas, to demand justice for the kidnapped Hindu girl Priya Kumari.
This marked the fifth such protest across the United States and Canada, with previous demonstrations held in front of the United Nations in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Canada. The Sindhi Foundation urgently requested the U.N. to launch an independent investigation to free this innocent young girl.
The protest was led by Munawar "Sufi" Laghari, Executive Director of the Sindhi Foundation, who travelled from Washington, D.C., along with the local Sindhi community of Houston.
The gathering drew attention to the appalling crime that took place in Sindh, Pakistan. The protesters allege that the crime was carried out by the powerful and politically influential Syed family from Sukkur, which includes Federal Minister Khurshid Shah, Sindh Parliament Member Nasar Shah, and even President Zardari. They claim that these individuals kidnapped a six-year-old Sindhi girl on August 19, 2021, motivated by a personal grudge against her parents.
