It has been reported that Rs 10 crore were given for provision of bullet proof vests to police but the money was pilfered resulting in the death of seven police men. It has also been reported that seven poor police men were killed like flies by motor cyclists. The only way is to ban motor cycles as the nation is not fit for use of motor cycles which have become deliverers of death – much like kites. We had to ban kites for the same reason as even one death is too much as one loss of life without Haq is too many as it is equated with humanity at large. Either the military police must be delegated powers for law and order in our cities or entire law and order by made a charge of military. Extra ordinary steps are needed in extra ordinary circumstances. Wes should not be afraid of giving more powers to army as existential threat is faced by Pakistan. We should not be shy of giving more authority to our army for ensuring law and order in our cities as it is the need of our time. Either we face slow attrition or solve our problem by delegating more authority to army even if a constitutional amendment is needed as nation is not bound by illogical considerations.
