EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Mar 21: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) J&K Executive Member Raman Suri, while expressing his shock over the killing of reporter Ajay Lalvani in Pakistan said, it is very disheartening that minorities are not safe in the neighbouring country.
He asked Pakistan government to rein in unscrupulous elements and ensure safety and security of minorities there besides compensating the family of Lavani in whatever best manner it can, though the loss is irreparable.
In his statement issued here, Raman Suri said that Ajay, a reporter with the Royal News TV channel and an Urdu language newspaper Daily Puchano, was shot in Sukkur city of Sindh province in Pakistan when gunmen on two bikes and a car drove by and opened fire. Seeking a thorough probe into the incident, he also demanded strict punishment for the culprits.
Raman Suri said that last month a five-member Hindu family in Pakistan was found dead with their throats slit under mysterious circumstances.
Ram Chand was running a tailoring shop and had no enmity with anyone but his family in Abu Dhabi Colony, 15-kilometre away from Rahim Yar Khan city, was wiped out in one go, sending shocks across the sub-continent. |
