The woman, identified as Ms Sheshala, is in her late 30s and had been brought to the hospital by some police officials first on Sept 21, sources in the JPMC said. She was provided medical treatment but taken away by the policemen. Next day, she was brought to the hospital again when her condition deteriorated.
Accordingly, she was admitted and sent to the National Poison Control Centre of JPMCs Medical Ward 5, the sources said. The woman is believed to have consumed some insecticide. A police official requesting anonymity revealed that incident had occurred at the residence of a senior police official.
Ms Sheshala had started her job as governess only on Sept 19 and requested her employers to allow her to go to her home country after receiving a call from her sister about their mother being in a serious condition. However, she was not obliged and she resorted to consuming some poisonous substance, according to the sources.
Meanwhile, an official of the Sri Lankan consulate, after learning about the incident, visited Ms Sheshala at the JPMC.No legal proceedings in the case have been initiated so far, a police official stated.
My Comments
I can understand why the Sri Lankan women are going abroad for jobs, for economic reasons. But what I cannot understand is why the Pakistanis have to recruit women from abroad as governesses. Cant they find Pakistani women to do these kinds of jobs.
I am sure in

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
