MIRPURKHAS: A landlord threw acid on a labourer for arriving late at his workplace in Deh 153 near here on Saturday, inflicting serious injuries to his leg, hands and sensitive parts.
The acid victim, who was brought to Digri taluka hospital by his mother after the landlord stopped him from seeking medical help, told journalists that he had failed to reach the farmland of Abdul Khalique Jatt on time a few days ago.
He alleged that the landlord threw acid on him in punishment.

Seems to have become an everyday event for poor people, yet no justice in Naya Pakistan claimed to be a state following the Marina model!

Justice would be swift. In today's Pakistan, even a PM's favourite and hard working minister was sent home when he defended treating a family harshly.

This is inhumane. Landlord should be punished and compensation should be paid including medical fees.

Why was Zamindari system not abolished in Pakistan, as was did in India?
These landlords are a big reason for its backwardness.

Unimaginable, heartless cruelty of man. And this too, during the Holiest Month of Ramadan?
Hope the court sentences this slave-driver to lengthy jail time, restitution and fines.

Unfortunately Pakistan, the then West Pakistan, is in the grips of landlords, waderas, sardars, zamindars.
