So far the police has arrested hundreds of suspects and keep arresting suspected terrorists, mafia members, gangsters, murderers, rapists etc. on a daily basis. So what is next? When these suspects will be charged? When they will be brought to justice? What I think, eventually all these suspected people will be released as they belong to big political parties and police mafia. The only day we will see a real action when our leaders' own sons will be killed on city streets like dogs and their daughters will be raped, killed and dumped somewhere in garbage, this is when they will decide to take action against these suspects; or may be not. May Allah have mercy on all of us and protect our nation from these monsters. AMEEN.
