Good Morning, *|MERGE1|*. It’s July 11, Sunday.I was reading the news about the two dogs who attacked a lawyer in Karachi. The dogs will be “euthanised”, according to a compromise agreement between the dogs’ owner and the victim. I am unable to understand the logical reasoning behind this agreement — how can innocent animals be punished for the negligence of their owner?

A harrowing video recently went viral on social media in which a man, Usman Mirza, was seen harassing and assaulting a young couple. He had a few male accomplices with him, and he was also armed. Mirza beat up the couple, stripped them, and subjected them to sexual assault. Pakistani women on social media came out in support of the young couple and also voiced how unsafe and insecure they feel in a society full of misogyny and violence.
Following an uproar on social media, the police arrested Usman Mirza and his accomplices. The police also reached out to the couple to record their statement.
According to media reports, the couple recorded their statements separately under Section 161 of the Criminal Code. The incident took place last year in November and the couple was blackmailed by the culprit; they ended up paying more than a million rupees to Mirza. This was clearly not an isolated incident as more videos have been found from the mobile phones of the arrested men. It shows that this gang of criminals has been indulging in such nefarious activities for quite some time now.

“Now they [Opposition] will be paid back in the same coin”, tweeted Gill.
The Deputy Secretary-General of PMLN, Attaullah Tarar, threatened PM’s aide in response and said, “Enough is enough.
Taking a jibe at Gill, Tarar added, “You are doing politics today thanks to flattery and abuse.” And in a rather threatening tone wrote, “I will sort you.”
