Chaos, anarchy and brute abuse of laws and basic human values were criminally visible on the streets of Lahore on Wednesday. Heart patients in critical condition were subjected to physical torment and agony, with their lifesaving support attachments forcibly removed by protesting lawyers to quench their ego in their quarrel with doctors and paramedical staff. Obedience to law is demanded; it is not an option, otherwise chaos will prevail.
What is tragic is that the state failed to exercise its writ to protect citizens. When power flows from the barrel of the gun then unruly groups resort to force as show of power.
