The incident has shocked the nation, sparking outrage over the persistence of such barbaric practices and admiration for the Major’s selfless act.
The horrifying incident unfolded when a father, in a chilling echo of pre-Islamic practices, attempted to bury his newborn daughter simply because she was a girl. The father abandoned the baby, leaving her to what he thought was her fate.
But fate had other plans. The baby girl was rescued in time by a team that included an Army Major, whose actions have since captured the hearts of millions.
In a remarkable act of compassion, the Army Major stepped forward to adopt the baby girl, ensuring she would have the love, care, and family she deserved.
Some reports suggest that the Major’s brother may have taken in the child, but either way, the baby now has a home and a future. The family has named her Abiha Waqas.
The incident has left Pakistan reeling, with many struggling to comprehend how such practices still exist in the 21st century. The attempted burial of a baby girl has sparked widespread outrage, with calls for the father to face severe punishment for his actions.
