Killing of Atiq and Ashraf in public view is how noble principles applicable to civilized society are tuned on their heads by successive corrupt and self-serving rulers, administration and judiciary over 75 years. “INNOCENT TILL PROVEN GUILTY” drag on the process of proving guilt over years, the biggest culprits are the lawyers on sale. “LET ONE INNOCENT NOT SUFFER EVEN IF HUNDRED GUILTY ARE ALLOWED TO GO SCOT FREE ” who benefits is obvious when the number of alleged criminals have a majority in the legislature. The judiciary will act against the legislature only when its vested interest is threatened. Even if the people vote in an honest legislature, wonder if the other two organs are will change. The rot is deep and wide spread.
