2. Nine arrested after child housemaid found dead
What’s going on? Nine suspects were arrested after minor girl, Momina Larik, was reportedly raped and murdered in Sindh’s Khairpur area. Larik was a housemaid who went missing on January 9. She was either seven or nine years-old. She worked at a house located less than a mile away from her residence.
The details: Larik’s father is a rickshaw driver and has eight children. The girl’s parents knew she often stayed at her employer’s house, which is why they didn’t immediately notice she was missing. The parents got worried after she didn’t come home for two days. When they asked their daughter’s employer’s where she was, they said she left two days earlier and didn’t stay with them.
Tell me more: Larik’s parents and relatives found her body in a banana orchard near their home on Monday. She was reportedly raped and strangled to death. Police have caught nine suspects so far. Now, the police are waiting on DNA tests to find a potential match between the suspects and Larik. #JusticeforMominaLarik was trending on Twitter.
The bottom line: This is unfortunately one of several cases involving child abuse and rape. According to a report by Sahil, a child protection organization, 1,489 children were sexually abused in the first half of 2020. In most cases, the abusers were acquaintances of the victims or victims’ families. There are distressing images of Larik’s deceased body circulating on social media, which we chose to not share here.
3. Guess who got an invite to Biden’s inauguration?
Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman, Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, was reportedly invited to the US President-elect’s inauguration ceremony on January 20th. Bhutto-Zardari’s dad, PPP Co-Chairman and former President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari, also got an invite. The inauguration is where Biden will take his oath as the next President of the US. Outgoing President, Donald Trump, said he won’t attend, making him the first US president to skip the inauguration of his successor since 1869. Daily Times said Zardari won’t be able to attend for health reasons. However, Khaleej Times claimed Zardari is on the Exit Control List, so he can’t leave the country.
4. If Pakistan developed its own messaging app, would you use it?
Federal Minister for Information Technology (IT), Amin-ul-Haq, said Pakistan will develop its own social networking app, complete with modern security and communication features (e.g. messages, voice calls, videos). Haq said Pakistan’s IT Ministry will work with IT experts to build the app. According to Haq, the app will be a convenient social networking platform for people in Pakistan. Users can register with their mobile numbers and CNIC (i.e. national identification). The IT Ministry will oversee the app. Haq claimed the app will protect a user’s private data, messages, and personal information. He said they will try to launch the app this year, and that development work will start soon.
