Crime and punishment
KARACHI: The Citizens Against Weapons (CAW), a polite multitude organisation operative for a de-weaponisation of a country, condemns in strongest difference a heartless murder of Tania Khaskheli, an trusting 19-year-old lady from a encampment of Jhangra in Sindh. She was gunned down by a rich swain in extended daylight, in front of her relatives for refusing to marry him.
It is a matter of grave regard and good bewail that a suitor, also a landlord, operates a private company and owns a private arsenal of weapons — a fact good famous to a internal residents and a police.
The CAW considers a barbarous murder of Tania Khaskheli as not an removed comfortless occurrence though one among many where a state’s surreptitious impasse can't be denied. Despite a fact that a Article 256 of a Constitution of Pakistan categorically prohibits all private militias, hundreds of private armed gangs are proudly operated by waderas and a goons of this country.
The primary apportion had betrothed to discharge private company gangs, though zero has been finished so far. It may, therefore, be satisfactory to assume that a Islamic Republic of Pakistan is directly obliged for a murder of Tania Khaskheli. The state is obliged for permitting hundreds of successful people to work private militias. The state is also obliged for not holding any useful stairs to discharge weaponisation of a society.
In a grown country, for such acts of assault people would direct an FIR not only opposite a perpetrator though also opposite a comparison state functionaries.
