Sir: This is with reference to the slapping of a woman reporter by the FC policeman posted at a NADRA outlet in Karachi. We shouldn’t be surprised at the man’s reaction, because like an average Pakistani, he has grown up in a society where women are treated like that. In rural and underdeveloped areas across the country, preachers constantly proclaim that women are responsible for all evil, and men should ensure that their women remain silent and submissive at all times. The action on the part of Frontier Constabulary and Interior Ministry is commendable. Authorities should set the incident as an example for the citizens of the Pakistan that no such action is tolerable at any level and no one is above the law. SHAKIR LAKHANI Karachi
