There is a third and only option. Come on the streets and demonstrate. Sitting quiet is criminal. Raise your voice against the Government and the Army.

Leave a few guilty kidnappers, that are caught, hanging in the public square for afew days in each major city and the problem will go away. While at the same time the govt in partnership with the business community etc should focus on creating jobs for the millions of unemployed youth.

If there was a death penalty for child/adult abduction the crime rate could come down faster than expected…

so for i never commented on any article but after reading this article i would like to say government of the day has no concern with the problem of the populace…..we are living our lives ourselves …..there is a great lack of trust between government institutions and general public…..and i believe that all crimes have been committed under the umbrella of government institutions…….there is a great violation of human rights and no one here to protect general public……….its an alarming situation and m still thinking where can we get a bite of justice ……..under all these conditions m salute those people who r still investing in Pakistan although our politicians have there bucks out of the country.

The police, public and intelligence agencies should work togather to counter this inhumane and barbaric crimes against the civilians. Unfortunately our security forces are not trustworthy and in most cases they are partners in these type of crimes. Also there should be death penalty through a very quick justice system so that those who commit such acts first think thrice and second they are absolutely sure of the consequences. Unfortunately again the justice system is not working for general public and their cases are dumped giving more time and value to politically motivated cases. The only possibility left with the public is either to pay and help in booming this crime or just refuse to pay leave the situation at the mercy of the criminals and gangs commiting the crimes. If the government can not provide safety and security to the public then have no right to rule at all.

This is the time for people to come on street, because if we have lost trust in police and people are getting kidnapped then only two things can happen either everyone will leave or some good people will also take the weapon and fight for justince. I would say that people should come on street and do what people did against the leaders in Egypt, and Libya. The difference is that in Pakistan it has to be against all politicians.
We have to do somethign before we will be the victime and then you will realise.

I presume, Mr. Ayub has taken Karachi as an example only. Unfortunately the problem is a becoming a Typical Pakistan Problem, as the institutes for implementing law & order does not function well and there are too many wepons available to criminals.

KIdnapping as a source of easy-money is probably one of the most horrible diseases in a society. It has a direct implication on the motivation of common people. What happens, if you fear that someone would kidnape you or your family members because “they” think you have money, the possible reactions are: 1) You are not motivated to achieve (economical) success OR 2) You hide your fortune. In both cases the result is same: the impoverishment of the society. You avoide buying costly objects, you do not maintain your house, etc. etc. All these omitted activities reduce jobs and oppotunities for others persons.
The problem is aggrivated in countries like Pakistan, where common people do not trust police forces. So the crime statistics does not show us the real picture.
