وزیراعظم سے ابھی ملاقات ختم ہوئی ہے- وزیراعظم پہلے ہی مروہ کیس اور موٹروے سانحے کا نوٹس لے چکے ہیں-میری تجویز یہ تھی کہ ان درندوں کی سرعام پھانسی پہ اگر “انسانی حقوق کے علمبرداروں” کو تکلیف ہے تو ہر حال میں فوری طور پر ان وحشیوں کے لئے Castration(آختہ کاری) کا قانون پاس کیا جائے

Vawda also suggested bringing a law for ‘castration’ of such culprits. He said that the premier expressed aims for imposing strict penalties against the criminals besides taking maximum steps for the protection of human rights.

‘#JusticeForMarwah’ had become a top trend on Twitter as the nationals raised voice for strict action against the culprits over the cold-blooded killing of a five-year-old girl after raping her in Karachi. Investigators had said that the girl had a head injury which apparently led to her death with her face burned to mangle her appearance.
Moreover, Punjab police launched an extensive investigation into the Gujjarpura gang rape case with at least 20 teams led by the DIG Investigation Lahore probing the matter to ensure the culprits are brought to justice sooner than later.
