There are sick people everywhere in the world, but the really sad thing is that they get away with everything in Pakistan. It all boils down to a failed justice system.Recommend
The police who demanded money should be put in jail – and there boss should be fired.
Maybe Pakistan should spend less time focusing on imposing it’s religious beliefs via blasphemy laws and spend some time focusing on common decency.Recommend
Where is Shariyat Law in this case?Recommend
