Darul Aman’s Lahore superintendent has alleged that orphan girls living in the shelter homes are being “misused” to fulfill the demands of ministers and government officials.
In a video doing rounds on Twitter, the superintendent has stated that orphan girls are being misused under the guise of giving them shelter and food.
In another video, she has claimed that she was being pressurised by Social Welfare Director General (DG) Afshan Kiran Imtiaz to marry underage girls to fulfil demands of some higher government officials and a provincial minister.
She added that Chief Minister’s Inspection Team was consistently pressurising her to take back her statement, and her refusal to do so had resulted in the budgetary allocations to her department being held back.
In a recent video, the same official can be seen saying that she is facing arrest for exposing the happenings in the shelter homes as police had broken the door of Darul Aman’s Lahore office.
In a reference to authorities and those involved, she said that they were trying to wipe out evidence and requested people to spread her message.
She added that she did not know what was to happen to her and where she would be taken now.
Another video — tweeted by the same handle sharing the Darul Aman official’s videos — showed police barging in through the doors, with the claim that it was being done to teach an unforgettable lesson to the official for exposing Punjab CM Usman Buzdar’s cabinet members allegedly raping orphans.
