Rotten to the core

Published January 15, 2018

OUR society has become so depraved that children are brutally abused and then mercilessly murdered. The horrendous incident in Kasur of Zainab is the latest incident.

This is an inexcusable crime that should not go unpunished. We have to ensure the judicious and stringent implementation of the law in our society. This is the only way we can save ourselves from further deterioration.
