ISLAMABAD: The government on  Friday faced criticism in the National Assembly  for its failure to prevent the incidents of child abuse, with Opposition Leader in the lower house of the Parliament Khusheed Shah calling the brutal rape and murder of seven years old Zainab complete failure on the part of authorities.

Speaking in the National Assembly, he called for presenting data  regarding crime rate in all the federating units before the house.

"Kasur incident is a failure of government," said he while launching an attack on Punjab government which he said boasts of  special police forces raised to prevent crimes.

"Who are they supposed to protect," he said , referring to  Elite Force, Dolphin  Force and other departments of the Punjab police.

He said statistics regarding  crime rate in all the provinces  should be presented in the National Assembly to ascertain the level of success and failure of  provincial governments in crime prevention.
