The people of Karachi have been terrorized by a knife-attacker who has been targeting women since the past few days. Despite having attacked 13 women so far, the police have still not managed to get a hold of him.
Taking notice of the incident, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has ordered the immediate arrest of the culprit(s) involved. A statement was released by PPP’s media cell in which Bilawal directed the concerned authorities to take swift and strict actions against the perpetrators.
“PPP will not tolerate [these] attacks on innocent women. These terrorists are challenging our nation by attacking our women,” he stated.
“Every mother and sister in Pakistan is a Benazir Bhutto, and their protection is obligatory upon us,” he said, adding that the attackers do not deserve even an ounce of mercy.
In the statement, Bilawal also asked the judiciary to direct the police to ensure the protection of the women of the city. He urged that the culprits should be handed out exemplary punishment so that such heinous crimes can be discouraged in the future.
On Wednesday alone, five more girls were wounded in fresh knife attacks in Karachi, raising the total number of victims to the count of 13. These attacks took place within a span of three hours, spreading massive panic among the residents of the Gulistan-e-Jauhar area.
The victims are not able to identify the suspect as he wears a helmet and attacks his victims from behind. The police have also asked for the public’s help in identifying and capturing the suspect.
