Pakistan-occupied Kashmir activist Amjad Ayub Mirza attacked Prime Minister Imran Khan after a Lahore citizen threw his five kids into a canal due to poverty.

“Yesterday in Kasur, a man threw his five kids into a canal, after suffering from perpetual poverty and hunger. This is Imran Khan’s idea of Riyasat-e-Madina (Islamic welfare state). Someone asks him to reply on this matter,” he was quoted as saying in a video posted on Twitter.

Driven by financial problems, a man allegedly threw his five children into the Jamber canal in Pattoki region of Pakistan on Sunday, media reports said.

The incident reportedly left two children dead. Three children are still missing.

According to rescue sources, the bodies of two children, 1-year-old Ahmad and 4-year-old Fiza- were recovered from the BS Link Canal near Chakoki while the search operation for the remaining three is underway, reports The News International.

Police told the newspaper the man, who is a resident of Attari Work, was frustrated with poverty and took this step after he had a heated argument with his wife.

A rescue operation is going on to rescue the missing children.
