Recently, a video of a moulvi brutally beating a child started making rounds on social media. He was from a madrassa in People’s Colony, Pansera Road in Gojra, Toba Tek Singh. While beating the child, he was also found uttering abusive language and cannot be seen having the slightest remorse on what he was doing.
پیپلزکالونی پینسرہ روڈگوجرہ(ضلع ٹوبہ ٹیک سنگھ) کے مدرسہ کا مہتمم مولوی مشتاق کمسن بچے پر تشدد کر رہا ہے.
تشدد کے ساتھ ساتھ انتہائی گھٹیا غلیظ گالیاں نکال رہا ہے
مسجد و مدرسہ کی انتظامیہ کو چاہیے کہ
استاد و امام کو سلیکٹ کرنے سے پہلے اسکی تعلیمی قابلیت ضرور دیکھیں@SHABAZGIL pic.twitter.com/RQ7vNL97EA— qari_sanaullah_ (@qari_1_) June 2, 2019
What was worse and painful was that the little boy wasn’t reacting much and it seemed that he was accustomed to such beatings. It’s a heartbreaking and utterly disturbing video, and it highlights what many children have to go through until such videos leak.
Once the video started making rounds, Children Protection Bureau Punjab took action, arrested this man, and put him behind bars.

In a country that is still reeling from multiple cases of child abuse, violence, and cold-blooded murders, such acts of brutality only further make us quiver in fear for all those children who have suffered at the hands of such beasts, or will continue to suffer, because such things are taken lightly. The fact that abuse towards children is often overlooked, and is even considered a norm is highly frightening, for it allows such acts of ruthlessness to occur and go unnoticed.
Once this video started circulating, people took notice of it and began sharing it in hopes to raise awareness. They obviously weren’t happy with what they saw this moulvi doing and expressed their anger on social media.
The conversation around trusting your child around such people initiated, and the fact that such men deserve to be punished was highlighted too.
These morons are worse than dogs, they need to be punished

بے غیرت اور شرم و حیا سے عاری انسان
پتہ نہیں ایسے خبیث کو انسان کہنا بھی چاہیے یا نہیں

Some people were moved to being violent themselves.
Astagfirullah how can someone treat little kids this way, I wish I could beat the crap out of this man. Bastard😡😡😡

And, once they got the news of his arrest, they appreciated it
دین کی تعلیم کے نام تشدد واقعی ہی انتہاپسندانہ رویوں کا باعث ہے۔اس جلاد کو سزا دے کر دوسرے ایسے تشدد کرنے والوں کو سبق ملے گا۔بے شک اسلام سلامتی کا مذہب ہے۔

People also appreciated the fact that action was taken immediately and that too, based on news off of social media
Action taken on social media news will definitely create deterrence & things will improve in near future.
Your time given to social media is positive, productive & commendable.
Thank you

They also wanted that this man be brutally punished

This is really saddening! This man should be brutally beaten up without any mercy…
— Shahzad Ali (@ShahNoorShahzad) June 4, 2019
People even stated that he should be given a taste of his own medicine
Molvi ki saza yeh honi cahiye ke isay bhi isi tarah Mara jaye. Lag pata jaye . 🤬🤬

This Maulana must be in jail and beaten like this.

Some people also pointed out how such incidents and these kinds of people are a disgrace to our society
یا اللہ جس معاشرے کے استاد اتنے ظالم ہوں اس معاشرے میں رحم دلی اور ایثار کا فقدان کا ہونا عجب نہیں ہے۔
کتنا صبر والا بچہ ہے۔

ایسے مولوی دین کے ٹھکیدار بنے ہوۓ ہیں ۔اس حدیث میں واضع ہے کہ انکا دین والوں سے کو تعلق نہیں
حضرت انسؓ سے روایت ہے کہ حضور صلی اللّٰہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا:
’’جو آدمی ہمارے چھوٹوں پر شفقت نہ کرے اور ہمارے بڑوں کا احترام نہ کرے وہ ہم میں سے نہیں ہے‘‘۔

Others stated that such things happen quite commonly in madrassas and there is a need for a long-term solution
Yeh zulm her madrsa me hota hai
Is ki video ban gai is liye pakra gaya ,is ka mustqil hal hona chahiye— Mohammad Chaudry (@RajanChaudry) June 3, 2019
Government should register and regularized these madrssaah on arjent basis because these madrssaah system is not helping humanity . I ask that why in pakistan they are not countable for there action so as nation government should take this matter seriously before it's too late

No doubt, the incident was absolutely terrible and the fact that action was taken swiftly is indeed commendable. It’s a pity that such shocking incidents continue to surface every now and then. Let’s hope that we see the occurrence lessen over time to the point where such heinous acts no longer take place.
