THIS is with reference to the bus accident that took the life of a student in Faisalabad on March 19. I condemn the death of the student owing to the irrational behaviour of the bus driver.

I am writing this letter to highlight the fact that other students started beating the bus driver following the accident, though the driver somehow managed to escape.

I condemn this act because this is not the way to take revenge. Students should fight through the power of the pen.

The law and order situation is at its worst but this is not the right way to express one’s anger. This act does not leave a good impression on the world.

Youngsters should not act rashly, and instead adopt a positive attitude to resolve all problems.
