Islamabad:

In the last few months, several incidents targeting the Hindu minority in the Sindh village of Shaikh Bhirkio and the Tando Allahyar district have surfaced, Bitter Winter reported.

Human rights organisations and activists in Pakistan have called for attention on social media to the case of a 6-year-old Hindu girl nicknamed Ritu (real name omitted for privacy reasons), who was abducted and sexually abused by two 23-year-old Muslim men while she was playing outdoors in the village of Shaikh Bhirkio, Tando Allahyar district in Sindh province.

Ritu was found lying unconscious around six kilometres from her home, In an injured condition, she was taken to the local hospital. Although an arrest has been made, her parents complained that the police had been unsympathetic and uncooperative, Bitter Winter reported.

The village of Shaikh Bhirkio and the Tando Allahyar district has a sizable presence of ultra-fundamentalist Muslims and have been the theatre of several incidents of sectarian violence targeting the Hindu minority.

In February, Muslim thugs attacked the home of a Hindu called Neelo Kolhy with sticks and guns, Bitter Winter reported, adding that they fired at the family and Neelo Kolhy's daughter, Soodhi, was injured.

A First Information Report (FIR) was filed with the police, but again the officers according to Neelo Kolhy were slow to act and uncooperative, Bitter Winter reported.

On October 2022, a 10-year-old Hindu girl of Shaikh Bhirkio called Meena Bajani was kidnapped while she was washing clothes outside of her home, with the purpose of being converted to Islam and married to a Muslim man. The police rescued the girl and placed her in a shelter home.

Washington: US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is likely to make a "full recovery" from prostate cancer and his prognosis is "excellent," two doctors said after he was seen at Walter Reed hospital for a follow-up appointment. Austin controversially kept US President Joe Biden in the dark about the cancer diagnosis for weeks, and did not inform either the commander-in-chief or Congress until days after he was hospitalized on January 1 for complications from his treatment. "Secretary Austin was seen today at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a scheduled post-prostatectomy surveillance appointment," the doctors said in a statement released by the Pentagon. "He continues to recover well and is expected to make a full recovery. Secretary Austin's prostate cancer was treated early and effectively, and his prognosis is excellent,...

(Representational) Seoul: North Korea fired several cruise missiles towards the Yellow Sea on Wednesday, Seoul's military said, the latest in a series of tension-raising moves by the nuclear-armed state. Hours later, North Korea appeared to confirm the firing, saying it had carried out its first test of a new generation of strategic cruise missiles it is developing, the Pulhwasal-3-31.

Unlike their ballistic counterparts, the testing of cruise missiles is not banned under current UN sanctions against Pyongyang. Cruise...
