IT is atrocious to arrest the PTI’s D.J. Butt for the use of loudspeakers disturbing the peace of the exclusive areas of Islamabad after a month’s sit-in.

What is appalling is the fact that the killers of Model Town have not even been caught, leave alone being punished, yet a DJ is behind bars! The authorities are trying some way to end this sit-in but the resolve is hard to break. If there were justice and the rule of law then this wouldn’t have happened in the first place.

So, let the government put the whole house in order, enforce laws, carry out punishments, then put DJs behind bars!
