strip of shame

LAHORE: This is with reference to your editorial “Strip of shame” (July 6). It is saddening to know that women and young girls are raped and tortured in front of scores of men who do nothing to prevent such crimes. In my opinion, such men are not Muslims because Islam instructs its followers to show respect for women. I don’t understand why men don’t raise their voices till their own mothers or sisters become victims.

resolution against media

LAHORE: The members of the Punjab Assembly should be ashamed of themselves for adopting a resolution against the media. Their move shows disregard for the freedom of speech which is guaranteed under a democratic system. In my opinion, the PML-N has misgoverned the people of Punjab under the guise of good governance. Now it’s trying to hide the flaws of its leadership. If Punjab’s MPAs respect the freedom, they have any sense left then they should take this resolution back and say sorry to the media community of Punjab in particular and Pakistan in general.
