The painful issue to be highlighted is that in our country people are free to do anything at their will, even killing the people publicly. I am referring to a recent incident in which the people in Khudadad Colony, Karachi, killed a 16-year boy, who they say, was caught red handed while stealing.
Anyhow, this point must be noted that no one has the authority to kill others for the small wrong doings. Taking law into one’s own hands cannot be praised at any cost. It is my earnest request to the authorities to take some tangible measures to avoid recurrence of such incidents.
