The Warsak dam is 25 kilo meters away from Peshawar city was built in 1960 at the river of Kabul. When government started to build the dam they needed sweeping staff as well. So many Christians from Punjab province migrated to Peshawar as cleaner (Sweeper) without any reference and skills, they were accepted as government employees. The Christians of Warsak dam are working now generation to generation. Samuel`s family is the third generation of the sweeping class and are not willing to change the life style, skills or education. The 20 Christian families are living in the Christian colony of Warsak dam. In 1955 Sardar Masih also migrated from Gujranwala (JADHALA) to Peshawar as WAPDA employ and started his life without change of life style when he retired, he requested to recruit his son Samuel in his place. In 1990 Samuel started his duty as sweeper in Warsak dam in his father`s place. The nine (9) family members were living in one quarter (2 rooms) but they were quite satisfied about job and house facility. Samuel was passing his time with his 6 children in small house; He also settled his elder son Waqar in his place at Warsak dam and took retirement after 25 years. Samuel was now working with Peshawar development authority (PDA) on daily wages and living in same house with his elder son Waqar. He used to leave his home early in the morning to reach his office in Hyatabad kpk to open the offices before the arrival of other sweepers. Yesterday when he left his house early at 5:25 AM he never knew what was coming his way. As usual the official security Guards and Samuel exchange the morning wishes they opened the door and he left and the door was Shut but suddenly there were gun fired and he ran back to the gate and shouted, the security guards opened the main gate and saw the situation and 4 gun men entered after Samuel, Samuel was already injured, The security guards also opened the fire, One of them is seriously injured and other two were also. The sacrifice of Samuel apprised the official Guards who opened their fire to answer back to the war those terrorists had already started and managed to hold them in a room using their full professional training until the arrival of Pakistan army. The security guards and Pakistan army killed all 4 terrorists who entered with an agenda to make a huge killing plan of Christians in Pakistan successfully and willing to raise negative image of Pakistan. The role of all security guards and Pak army made sure to protect all Christians in this colony which is proving sincerity, love and safety of every Pakistani. The elder son of Samuel said that he is feeling proud of the golden sacrifice of his father which means that minorities are always willing to serve the nation. The Bishop Ernest Jacob of Anglican Orthodox and all churches in KPK are thankful to the Pak Army and the security guards those who not only saved the Christians and Pakistan from huge damage but they also set a true example of professionalism and dignity for their people. He requested to govt of KPK to make sure the safety and security of all places of minorities in KPK.
