Pakistanis Speak Up Against Underage Driving
Literally even as a parent, what am I supposed to do? You move to better policed areas in a city thinking better security less likely that I will be shot at by a thug… only to be run over by a rich brat on a fast vehicle there is no way to survive at all.
Lahore is full to the brim with elitists & their kids are the scum of this earth. I hope this boy is arrested & punished. Every few months there’s a hit-and-run case from Lahore & it’s always a bratty son of a rich person. Shame on all these parents!
Punish that guy Mujtaba and his parents for letting him drive and giving him the car, he should be punished as soon as possible, he killed a person who was loved by many.
X Highlights Parenting In Elite Society
Filled with so much rage that Pakistani parents not only let their kids drive at an illegal age and kill people on the road, but then also have the audacity to fight a case for their child and blame the victim.
Imagine something tragic happening to these elite kids; their families would stop at nothing, even tearing the country apart, to get justice. yet, when it’s just an ordinary, unknown child, no one raises a voice. this country is a disgrace.
If he has been granted pre-arrest bail even the judge must be questioned, and an inquiry must be held. Not just the teen, but the parents also must be booked for negligence and aid to murder. This entitlement must be crushed with full might of law.
It’s high time the government and authorities take strict action against underage driving and put an end to the corruption among elite parents who enable their children to act recklessly and avoid consequences. The death of Abdul Hadi is proof of the lack of accountability among those with power and money in this country. We hope the culprit, along with his enablers, is held responsible and faces legal consequences for this tragic incident.
