Just one country over and girls walk at 1 AM or 2AM alone without any fear of persona safety. Why India and Pakistan not pay attention to their much celebrated civilization of 5000 years. It's a joke.

Government should privatize Police. Karachi should be declared Politics Free Zone. Circular Railway should must be privatized. All illegal aliens should be rounded up. All the corrupt bureaucrats should be hanged. Alternate cities should be planned.

I am horrified and very disturbed whenever I hear of any rape cases. Personally, I think that the person committing such a heinous crime MUST be given the Capital Punishment. The punishment MUST be carried out at a Public Place so that it serves as a deterrent. All the people watching it will not even think of committing such an act. Our Government MUST promulgate an Ordinance making it mandatory that the accused is put to death & that there is No Way that he will be spared. Capt. Javed Safdar Dubai

***crime ratio will be high and it will raise further if and if proper law is not implemented, in our country there is no equality of humainty, there is law for poors only. When there is unequality, crime in that area will have no importance***
