The motorway incident is shameful, it is the responsibility of the government to maintain law and order. Highways are also not safe. Innocent passengers face serious crimes on highways. The motorway tragedy is a disgrace to society and the state.
These views were expressed by the President of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Mian Anjum Nisar, about the Lahore Motorway violence case addressing a special meeting held by FPCCI women entrepreneurs.
He said the law is for the protection of citizens and added, “We strongly condemn the statement of the CCPO. The professional officer cannot make such a statement.”
Expressing concern over the Lahore Motorway rape case, he said that in 2019 alone, 3881 cases of rape of women, 1359 cases of sexual abuse of children, 1785 cases of violence against women, 12,600 cases of abduction of women, and honor killings were reported in Punjab province alone. 197 cases were registered which is a shameful and worrying moment for this society. He added that the education system also needs to be reformed.
Our children should know the ethics and values of their society. In the past, good scripted dramas were aired but now their script is not appropriate either. We are an Islamic country where such dramas are banned from being aired on the internet. The content has also caused a lot of problems. Miss Qaisara Sheikh, Coordinator, FPCCI Women’s Entrepreneurs, said that the Zainab Alert Bill should be implemented. Abuse of children and women should be punishable by death. Crime cannot be controlled unless the justice system is established on modern foundations. The accused in the rape case should be made a role model. Women chambers across the country are united against this incident.
