SARGODHA: Former Pakistan Peoples Party MPA Aslam Madhyana, involved in an alleged assault on a 60-year-old school teacher in Sargodha, has been sent on physical remand for another five days, Express News reported on Saturday.

Madhyana was earlier sent on a two-day physical remand, upon the completion of which he was presented in an anti-terrorism court.

Lawyer of teacher Nafees Khan said that an interrogation is necessary to arrest the companions of the accused, and added that in order to get hold of the weapons that Madhyana is allegedly hiding, a physical remand of another eight days is required.

On the other hand, Madhyana’s lawyer said that it was mentioned in the FIR that he was empty-handed and did not possess any weapons.

The court handed over the verdict of a five-day physical remand after listening to the both parties.

Moreover, students protested and shouted slogans against Madhyana outside the court room.

Who says there is no feudal in Pakistan. Rural Pakistan is control by the feudal, even in urban areas one can see the people who work hard and other exploit the situation and make money in the name of religion or family lands. Our ruling class of so called politicians is from feudal and then industrialist follow them for power in authoritarian society. Law making body-the Majlish Shora, parliament -the senate , national assembly, provincial assembly and district council , every where the members are feudal, indusrialists, drug barons and /or Rtd. corrupt police officers with few Rtd, army officers as well. The writer of the this article and a leading scholar Dr. Aisha Siddiqa is also from feudal class with extra ordinary intelligence. I agree with some people that one should do some thing instead of suggestions. I have done some thing by leaving my home land as it’s hopeless there; unless there is rule of law not the law of ruler and we should follow the rule accordingly. Very simple law of inheritance can change our country’s future. What ever law we follow, Islamic or British- Muslim personal law, the property should be divided accordingly after the death of a person in a reasonable time but what happen in our country- this is the basic problem. If division of property is done by the law, there will be no feudal and if there is no feudal: the country will flourish. See rest of the world specially the developed world where majority people from under developed countries want to come. All the best for the rest of the people all over the world.

let us hope and pray that the case of Aslam Madhyana proves to be the harbinger of a new socio-political era in Pakistan : an era which is characterised by supremacy of rule law in which the strong and powerful cannot treat themselves above law , and use the state machinery to commit crimes with impunity .
