Pakistani women suffer not only from the domestic violence in their homes but also are the victims of misogyny and harassment at workplaces, educational institutions and even assemblies. Recently, Samina Sindhu, a famous singer of Larkana, has been shot dead at a wedding party during her performance. The culprit opened fire on her when she refused to perform specific dance on his demand due to her pregnancy. It is reported that the deceased’s family is being pressurized by the local influentials to withdraw the case. This, undoubtedly, shows the anti-women mentality of the patriarchal society nurtured under the sway of feudalism. The recurrence of such incidents against women in varied forms is the order of the day that has paralyzed the society and shattered Jinnah’s dream of a tolerant, progressive and peaceful Pakistan. He always espoused the women empowerment and echoed “No nation could rise to the height of glory, unless your women are side by side with you”. So, it is time the state took stern steps to combat male chauvinistic approach prevailing throughout the country. With regard to Sindhu’s case, an appeal is made to the Chief justice of apex court and other authorities concerned to take soumotu notice to ensure fair investigation. The culprits charged with the heinous crime of committing double homicide should be brought to the book immediately (in case medical reports confirm her pregnant).To provide fair and rapid justice to the victims, the trial must be carried in anti-terrorism court followed by the state protection to the family of the deceased.
