Indeed, It is very tragic and shameful to hear what has happened in the
recent incident which occured at Dodoma Jamatkhana on Saturday 19th July 2008
after Jamati Prayers.
An Old man 82 Yrs of age tried to molest a girl of 5-6 yrs of age... The
story comes like this :-
The old bapa ussually sits downstairs after jamati prayers in khane and all
the little children playing he would offer them sweets and toffies and chewing
gums , it was that saturday evening after JK prayers where a group of girls were
playing downstairs and suddently he came up to one of the girls(name can
not be disclosed due to privacy) and asked her if she wants a chewing gum or a
toffee. A girl a child being soo innocent would not have refused such a
temptation as always she was being given by him . She said bapa whatever you
want to give you can , thats expected from an innocent child.
That old man told her i have none left in my pocket come i have few in my
car and he took her there where his car was parked and he took her behind the
car where no one could see them and opened his trouser zip and asked that tiny
girl to touch him , on getting scared and refused he held her by her shoulders
and told her to hold and her being 6 yrs old did soo until he ejaculated , on
getting the chance she ran and started crying and went where all her friends
were playing and few more people came around as well and told them what had
happened.
THE ISSUE COMES THAT THIS
OLD MAN IS NONE OTHER THAN THE FATHER OF THE CHALU MUKHISAHEB OF DODOMA
JAMATKHANA.
IF WE THE JAMATS ARE
NOT SAFE FROM OUR JAMATI LEADERS THEN WHO ARE WE SAFE FROM
??
TO MY UNDERSTANDING NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM THE POOR GIRLS FAMILY AS
YET. WE HEAR THIS FAMILY IS A PEACE LOVING FAMILY AND HOLD A FAIR REPUTATION IN
THE JAMAT.
I MYSELF BEING AN ISMAILI AND HAVING KIDS BELIEVE THAT ACTION SHOULD BE
TAKEN AND HARSH MEASURES TO BE TAKEN BY THE JAMAT AND THE LAW AS WE DONT KNOW
THAT WHO CAN BE NEXT , THEY CAN BE YOUR KIDS OR MINE .
AND IT COULD BE A WORST NIGHTMARE THEN WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT GIRL.
I VOTE THAT ACTION HAS TO BE TAKEN BE IT THEY ARE RICH OR THEY ARE THE
JAMATI LEADERS , SUCH ACTS CANNOT BE ACCEPTED AND THERE IS NO PLACE FOR SUCH
PEOPLE IN OUR JAMATS.
PASS THIS EMAIL ON TO AS MANY ISMAILIS AS YOU CAN , INORDER TO GIVE JUSTICE
TO THAT POOR LITTLE GIRL AND MANY OTHERS LIKE HER.
THANKING ALL OF YOU FOR READING THIS
YOUR'S TRULY
