China grants Rs 6m more to martyred families of policemen

F.P. Report

KARACHI: China has donated Rs 6 million for the families of two police personnel who embraced martyrdom during an attack on the Chinese consulate in Karachi last week.

Wang Yu, China’s Consul General in Karachi, distributed Rs3 million each among the heirs of the martyred assistant sub-inspector Ashraf Dawood and constable Amir Khan at a ceremony held at Central Police Office.

The ceremony was attended by Sindh Inspector General Police Dr Syed Kaleem Imam, Karachi Additional Inspector General Dr Amir Ahmed Sheikh, other senior officers and relatives.

Speaking on the occasion, the Chinese diplomat lavished praise on the policemen for having laid their lives in the line of the duty.

“China had already donated Rs6 million among the heirs of the policemen, bringing the total amount donated thus far to Rs12 million,” he highlighted.

Yu added that people were still collecting donation through a campaign in China in a bid to appreciate the services of the Sindh police.

Sindh police chief expressed gratitude for the gesture and gave special recognition to the services of the martyred policemen, branding them as “assets of Sindh police”.

In the terror attack foiled by security services on November 23rd, two civilians, a father and son, named Zahir Shah and Abdul Karim, were also killed whereas a private security guard was left injured by the attackers.

Three armed terrorists were shot dead by police in a well-timed response; Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) had claimed the responsibility for the attack.

The terrorist group has been involved in several activities to hinder the implementation of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects, a mega economic deal between two countries.

India has also been jealous of the economic deal between Islamabad and Beijing. Few years ago, security forces had arrested an Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav involved in anti-Pakistan activities.

Jadhav, who was awarded death sentence by a military court, has confessed to providing funds to the BLA.
