Respect women

By our correspondents

Seeing the kind of treatment women participating in the PTI rally in Lahore had to go through, it seems our society has lost all civility and ethical norms. It is shameful to watch young women being harassed on their way to the venue.

There was a time, not long ago, when such things were unheard of, and instead of attacking and harassing women, the public generally showed respect towards women. A society that does not know how to behave with and treat women, who constitute almost half of our population, it is hard to imagine that society treading the path to progress.

It was shocking to see women being harassed during the PTI rally in Lahore. Now a blame game has started between the PTI and the PML-N. Both parties are accusing each other’s workers of committing the crime.

The crime is horrible and warrants a thorough inquiry.
