Attack on lady police official is condemnable. we all know that nothing will happen and MNA will be finally exonerated from charge. We unfortunately has no implementation of law in Pakistan. The incumbent PM, in fact must have been convicted on charges of PTV and Parliament attack case, but he was set free as nothing had happened. Both the attacks caused losses to a tune of millions to national exchequer.

Put all PMLN 'Gullu Butts' behind bars as they think there is no law and accountibilty for them. And, they can do anything. They are black sheep of our society - shame on them. (Note: I have been advocating my candid views for over 4 years against injustice, inequality, corruption, oppression and nepotism without supporting any of the political parties. My family, country and people's well-being are far more important to me than anything else. Please be aware of fake IDs!).
