Case against 24 Shabab-i-Milli activists
MULTAN: Multan Police have registered a case against 24 activists of Shabab-i-Milli (SM) Multan including the division president Abdul Wahab Niazi, charging them of destroying road-side billboards and hoardings with images of women advertised on them. Police are conducting raids to arrest the accused. The district police officer (DPO) Multan Hamid Mukhtar Gondal said that no person would be allowed to break the law and such acts tarnish the image of Pakistan abroad.
"Sad laughingstock" was the impression that popped into my mind, first thing...
Rao Zafar Iqbal of Jamaat e-Islami said that law does not allow anyone to spoil the society through vulgarity or using women for business purposes and the drive against obscenity was not a violation of law. Instead, the SM activists were performing the duty of law enforcement agencies.
Brownshirts are the same everywhere, I guess...
