Pakistan’s child pornography case horrific: Daily
Islamabad: The child pornography case in Pakistan is horrific, said a leading Pakistani daily which demanded action against not only of those who perpetrated these ghastly acts but also those who “illustrated how access to justice in this country is leveraged on influence and connections”.
“From a trickle to a flood, the horrific details of the child pornography case in Husain Khanwala village in Punjab’s Kasur district are spilling out in the media,” said an editorial “Victims of abuse” in the Dawn on Tuesday.
“Some facts remain to be ascertained: for example, how many victims there actually are, and what led to the racket being exposed now, several years after the alleged abuse first began to take place. What is clear is that a number of children, if not hundreds, were victims of this reprehensible crime,” said the daily.
News reports have said boys and girls – some younger than 14 years – were repeatedly preyed upon by a gang of paedophiles over a number of years and their sexual violation filmed.
The perpetrators then blackmailed the victims and their families into paying them large sums of money in exchange for not making the videos public.
The daily said that the outrage that the case has elicited in Pakistan, “particularly following what appeared as attempts by official quarters in the Punjab administration to either downplay it or deny it outright, has prompted the government to issue strong statements promising ‘exemplary punishment’ for those found guilty”.
It demanded accountability for not only of those “who perpetrated these ghastly acts but also of those who, once again, illustrated how access to justice in this country is leveraged on influence and connections”.
The editorial sympathised the young people who “must have suffered profound psychological damage from the experiences they have endured”.
“While it must be cathartic for them to be able to at last bring their tales of horror into the open and thereby have a chance at seeing their tormentors’ punished, their long-term recovery can only be possible away from the glare of the media, in privacy, and with extended counselling,” it added.
The editorial said that in a society where child abuse has traditionally been a taboo subject, there is little understanding of this in the general public.
“Nevertheless, one expects politicians to show some sensitivity and refrain from making political capital out of this tragedy by posing for photo ops with the victims.
“The government, while doing all it can to get to the truth behind the whole sordid business and the speculation surrounding its details, must ensure that the victims’ well-being is not lost in the din,” it added.

The mission focuses on helping families of terminally ill patients in hospitals by providing food and shelter. It also works to fulfill essential needs like education, jobs, and care for the elderly.
For the last 16 years, the Vijay Sri Foundation has been providing free services, benefiting thousands of people. Vishal Singh highlighted that the mission aims to gain global recognition like other organizations such as WHO, WWF, and Red Cross, which work for social causes.

He even created a life-saving oxygen regulator using household items, which was praised by doctors both in India and abroad.
In his address at the meeting, Vishal Singh spoke about his mission to create a hunger-free world. He pointed out that India’s large population, along with issues like unemployment and poverty, has caused the country to fall on the Hunger Index.

He concluded by saying that through social participation, we can empower the people around us, meet their basic needs, and work together to build a stronger, more prosperous, and developed society.
