The motorway incident is shameful, it is the responsibility of the government to maintain law and order. Highways are also not safe. Innocent passengers face serious crimes on highways. The motorway tragedy is a disgrace to society and the state. The law is for the protection of citizens. We strongly condemn the statement of the CCPO. The professional officer cannot make such a statement. These views were expressed by the President of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), Mian Anjum Nisar, about the Lahore Motorway Violence Case addressing a special meeting held by FPCCI Women Entrepreneurs.
Expressing concern over the Lahore Motorway rape case, he said that in 2019 alone, 3881 cases of rape of women, 1359 cases of sexual abuse of children, 1785 cases of violence against women, 12,600 cases of abduction of women, and honor killings were reported in Punjab province alone. 197 cases were registered which is a shameful and worrying moment for this society. He added that the education system also needs to be reformed.
Our children should know the ethics and values of their society. In the past, good scripted dramas were aired but now their script is not appropriate either. We are an Islamic country where such dramas are banned from being aired on the internet. The content has also caused a lot of problems.
Miss Qaisara Sheikh, Coordinator, FPCCI Women’s Entrepreneurs, said that the Zainab Alert Bill should be implemented. Abuse of children and women should be punishable by death. Crime cannot be controlled unless the justice system is established on modern foundations. The accused in the rape case should be made a role model. Women chambers across the country are united against this incident. The accused in the motorway rape case are terrorists, they should be punished severely. Not safe.
All businesswomen of the country strongly condemn the irresponsible statement of CCPO. Officials of all women’s chambers across the country through video link. Hina Mansab, Shagufta-ur-Rehman, Tahira Naseem, Masooma Sabteen, Shehan Malik, Sadia Khurram, Naima Naz, Falak Anjum, Asma Kanwal, Lala Rak, Nazli Abid, and other women also expressed their views in the meeting and strongly condemned the incident.
