Have you heard of morality? Morality is when hearts are open. Open to accept the humane nature of being. Open to cuddle the truth. Morality contains science as well as philosophy.

Have you heard of conscience? Conscience is the pride of humanity. It’s the jewel of the sophist.

I’m pretty sure people who aren’t living in Pakistan are much aware of the aforementioned terms. I’m pretty sure the people of Pakistan aren’t.

Couple of days back, the residents of Pakistan experienced something really strange. The thing they haven’t experienced before. It was a curious pain that traveled from their brains to their hearts.

A paralyzed young girl who was admitted in the ICU of PIMS (Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences) Islamabad was raped by a resident male nurse. The escape from the crime scene was so easy for the perpetrator after the turpitude that it reminds me of our sturdy politicians escape from Pakistan.

 

The hospital administration kept this news arcane for a couple of days, and then some local media reporter broke it. With the breaking of the news, he broke countless hearts too.

In January 2016, a teenage girl was gang raped by a group of men after being drugged in a guest house in the Mall Road area of Lahore. The victim was fifteen years old.

Rape is notoriously difficult to prosecute in Pakistan. In April 2011, the Supreme Court had upheld the acquittal of five men sentenced to death in Pakistan’s most famous rape case of Mukhtar Mai.

Our children and women aren’t safe in public places and parks but now they aren’t safe in government hospitals too. What kind of security measures the family should take when admitting their women in hospitals? Are there any SOPs?

Where are the contractors of religion on this issue who on every other day threaten for street commotion? Where are the custodians of democracy who on every issue roar for sit-ins or who on every occasion and in every public gathering pledge for development works and country’s welfare? The democrats who on every event don’t miss the opportunity to extol their martyrs? Our own generals who are always waiting for a suitable moment to ouster the elected government?

They’re all silent. Don’t they all smell the rotten potatoes?

We’ve also seen the gang rape of children. Not only rape but we’ve seen the movies of those rapes.
