Three underage Hindu girls, Sheena, Jiya, and Diya, who had mysteriously gone missing from Shahdadpur, were recovered from Karachi after Dr. Lalchand Ukrani, Special Assistant to the Chief Minister of Sindh on Minority Affairs, took serious notice of the incident and directed law enforcement to ensure their immediate recovery. Upon receiving the report of their disappearance, Dr. Ukrani contacted the Inspector General of Sindh Police and instructed the formation of special teams for the swift recovery of the girls. Following his directive, the police successfully located and rescued the girls from Karachi.
Dr. Lalchand Ukrani stated that he had immediately informed the central president of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Ladies Wing, Ms. Faryal Talpur, Chief Minister of Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah, and Provincial Interior Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar about the situation. In response, the top leadership of the PPP and the Chief Minister issued urgent orders to ensure the recovery of the missing girls. He further added that The timely and safe recovery of the girls has been deeply appreciated by the minority community, who expressed heartfelt gratitude to the PPP leadership and the Sindh government for their tireless efforts and prompt actions that led to the safe return of the girls.
Dr. Lalchand Ukrani emphasized that this incident is a serious violation of human rights and contributes to a growing sense of insecurity among minorities-something that is unacceptable in any civilized society. He reiterated that the Pakistan Peoples Party is committed to ensuring the protection of the life, property, and dignity of all minorities in Sindh and that their issues are being addressed on a priority basis. He further asserted that this matter will not be overlooked and those found involved will face strict legal consequences. The Special Assistant also mentioned that the Sindh government has already taken concrete steps for minority protection, including strengthening the Ministry of Minority Affairs and involving minority representatives in key decision-making processes.
