The Chief Justice of Lahore High Court has taken notice of the murder of senior lawyer and directed IG Punjab to submit a report within 24 hours.
The Lahore High Court Bar Association‚ in a meeting strongly condemned the killing and termed it a failure of the Punjab Government to provide security to people.
The Association also called for immediate arrest of the culprits.
It must be mentioned here that some unknown motorcycle riders gunned down a senior lawyer Shakir Ali Rizvi on Friday here.
Shakir Ali Rizvi advocate accompanied by his associate lawyer came out of his chamber for going to the court in regard to a case and as soon as his car reached near the Jain Mandir some unknown motorcycle riders forced the car to stop and dragging Shakir Ali Rizvi out from the car shot him point blank and fled away. The injured lawyer was rushed to the Gangaram Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The job of courts is to give orders, implementation of orders is the job of police. It is very sad that even the orders of the supreme court are not followed by law enforcing agencies. Sectarian and ethnic killings cannot be stopped with present set up, new legislation is needed to combat this brutal act, however, a sincere and honest administration is required.
