The Pakistanis abroad are very much perturbed about the deteriorating law and order situation of our country. Suicide bombings, target killings, terrorism, murders, corruption, bribery, fraud, deceit, robberies, theft, cell phones, snatching of cars and motor cycles, kidnapping and abductions for ransom etc. along with major bungling cases like Hajj fraud, NIC fraud, Steel Mills fraud, Punjab Bank fraud, NLC fraud, small loans fraud, containers fraud, etc. have become common.
The police supported by the Rangers/FC have failed. We hear that the police have arrested criminals but the courts could not punish them and they are either let loose on bails or their cases are adjourned for years together.
Our ministers issue strict warning to lawbreakers and enquiries are ordered on which no concrete action is taken. The failure of the police and the administration to control the law and order situation results in the Supreme Court taking suo moto action but the public wants its result with severe punishment to criminals.
Our leaders do not touch this important topic as to how to end this stalemate and suggest ways and means to change the existing system.
