One of the professors of Bolan Medical College, Quetta used to come to my office almost daily where I was working as Passenger Sales Manager, PIA about 10 years back. He used to provide pick and drop to his wife - our colleague in PIA and also to their only daughter who was studying in a local school.
On March 28, 2011, Professor Syed Mumtaz Haider Naqvi was kidnapped by some unknown persons who later demanded huge money for ransom. Finally, the family members arranged the required amount after great difficulty and handed over Rs 2.7 million to the kidnappers who promised to release the professor in the evening. Nonetheless, they sent the dead body of the professor, riddled with bullets on the next day ie April 19, 2011 even after receiving the ransom money.
As per press reports, "Lakshar-e-Jhangvi" - a militant religious group had taken the responsibility of killing of the professor who was associated with the noble profession for over two decades in the Bolan Medical College.
Needless to mention here, all teachers are highly respected irrespective of the language they speak or whether they belong to any region, colour, sex, religion or sect.
As homage to the respected professor as personally known to me, I humbly present my "two tears" for the bereaved family members in his memory and hereby condemn the said religious militant group, which despite receiving the huge ransom money did not fulfil their promise to release the professor.
In other words, they proved themselves worse than the Somalian pirates, who after receiving ransom money, released the hostages including the Pakistanis, Indians, Egyptians and a Sri Lankan, as promised recently. Nonetheless, such people in our country are posing to be champions of Islam. Very sad!
