 Pakistani Hindus are celebrating Diwali, also known as Deepavali or the festival of lights, across the country with zeal and fervour, with families and the community decorating their houses and temples with colourful lights.

Special "poojas" will be held in different temples while sweets will also be distributed among the people during observance of religious festivity of Hinduism.

Diwali is celebrated at the end of every autumn to commemorate the victory of Hindu god Lord Rama — or Ramachandra — over evil Ravana and how he spent 14 years in tranquillity. Celebrated for five days, it also marks the start of the new year of Hindu calendar.

The Pakistani Hindu community also lit earthen lamps in the night and fireworks were also be exhibited to celebrate the festival.

Apart from Karachi, Lahore, and other major cities, festivities will also be held in Matiari, Tando Allahyar, Tando Muhammad Khan, Jamshoro, Badin, Sanghar, Hala, Tando Adam, and Shahdadpur.

Fazlur Rahman accuses PTI govt of pre-poll rigging in Gilgit-Baltistan

Pakistan Democratic Moment (PDM) chief Maulana Fazlur Rahman has accused the PTI government of pre-poll rigging in Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) and said the election results were being prepared in advance.

“The fake government has drawn up a pre-poll rigging plan in Gilgit-Baltistan. The political bribes are being doled out for that,” said the JUI-F ameer, while speaking at a news conference here on Friday.

He alleged that wheat was being distributed in a large number of trucks, which carried banners with the portraits of Prime Minister Imran Khan. The PDM chief said various tactics were being employed to ensure the win for the ruling PTI in the election.

Fazl claimed that the Election Commission and the state agencies were not performing their assigned duties.

The PDM chief said the PTI government was hiding behind the coronavirus pandemic, adding that the opposition alliance would go ahead with its planned public meetings. “If the coronavirus did not spread when the [PTI] arranged public meetings at Swat, Turbat and Hafizabad, it would not when the PDM holds gatherings in Peshawar, Multan and Lahore,” he asserted.

Main accused confesses to crime in Kashmore gang-rape case

The main accused in Kashmore gang-rape case has confessed to the crime on Friday.

Rafique Malak during interrogation confessed to his crime before the investigation police. “Three people raped mother and daughter for three days”, he said in his statement before the police.
Malak was arrested by the Kashmore police, yesterday, whereas raids are being conducted for the arrest of the remaining two accused. A case has been registered against him at the Kashmore police station under section 7ATA.

Giving details about the painful incident, the SSP Kashmore said the minor girl was molested by a man who married twice just for the sake of the child.

He further said that the rape-victim is under treatment at the Larkana hospital. Her condition is improving after the operation, the SSP said and added they are extending every possible help to the family.

On November 10, it was reported that a woman and her four-year-old daughter were sexually assaulted by a gang. The victim woman, who works in Karachi, was lured with a job promise in Kashmore. When she reached there with her four-year-old daughter, the alleged assaulters gang-raped both mother and daughter and left them there for dead.
A video, apparently recorded by police officials, was shared on social media, showing the child struggling to respond as her mother asked what had been done to her. Her murmur, though not clearly audible in the recording, made her mother scream and burst into tears.

Meanwhile, a protest demonstration was held at Kashmore’s NADRA chowk demanding exemplary punishment to the accused in the heinous crime of rape.
