Lawlessness

In Pakistan, not a single day goes by when we do not hear about some heart-wrenching incident involving heinous crimes. Earlier this month, a distressing incident took place in Hyderabad where a young girl, law student Yusra Batool, was gunned down in cold blood while she, along with her brother, also a law student, was returning home after appearing in examinations. They were intercepted by a man in a vehicle who opened fire, killing the girl on the spot. Her brother sustained two bullets in the head and is said to be in a critical condition. When will this brazen lawlessness end? When will the state take strict action to protect the people?
