The activists of Pasban staged a protest at Chowk Kumharanwala on Friday to press the government to bring Dr Aafia Siddiqui back from American prison.
Holding placards and banners, the protesters shouted slogans against government and USA. Speaking on this occasion, Pasban leaders Sheikh Maqbool Ahmad, Rizwan Ansari, Mureed Abbas and others said that Islamic society offered complete protection to women but our rulers failed to protect a daughter of nation. Citing India's example, they said that India successfully took back a woman from USA four years ago and today they emerged as world's leading economy. "While on the other hand we are losing our respect and status in the world," they maintained. They said that our own people kidnapped Dr Aafia and handed her over to the Americans which was shameful. They asked the government to take serious and practical steps to bring Dr Aafia back.
