Sir: A seven year old girl’s body has been found in a garbage dump in Kasur. Forensics have revealed that the girl had been raped and then strangled. This is the most shocking news I have seen on television, since the APS attack in 2014. My heart has not been heavier with grief over a news report since then. What kind of society and country do we live in where monsters can stalk our children with impunity? Shame on this country’s leaders. While their own children travel safely with a motorcade full of police protection, the children of the common man remain vulnerable to the worst sort of criminals! As a human being and a parent, I demand that the federal and provincial governments take action to make Pakistan safe for our children. These sorts of crimes are not tolerable.
