LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Senator Sirajul Haq on Wednesday strongly condemned the brutal murder of a seven-year-old abducted girl in Kasur and termed it the worst example of human degradation.

In a statement here, the JI chief said that such shameful incidents were taking place in and around Kasur since long but the rulers seemed to be totally blind. The government was not mindful of its responsibility to protect the life, honour and property of the masses, as their concern is to remain in power only.

He said that the persons involved in the criminal assault and murder of the minor girl were beasts and not human beings, asking the law enforcers to nab the culprit and give him exemplary punishment.

Siraj said that the media had promoted immorality by screening profanity and the government must have checks and balances to minimise such incidents.
