Pakistan is NOT a welfare state. Everyone therefore has the right to earn a living as they see fit." Personally, I would like these students prosecuted by law for taking matters into their own hands. There are always higher-ups whom the students/residents could have complained to, in case the lower ranked police-walas didn't listen to them.

Several residents of that area reported about the alleged brothel to police, but no actions were taken, primarily due to the influence of the owner, which led to this aggressive action. It is more of a reaction to the lawlessness, not the lawlessness itself. If the correct actions were taken by the law enforcing agencies and a proper investigation was conducted for the brothel and persons involved, i don't think that this incident would take place. you can see in karachi, and other cities, inhabitants of different residential areas have security guards for their mohallas/towns ,why ?,due to the complete absence of law, since law enforcing agencies turn a deaf ear to the increasing theft and robbery complains, peoples have to take security measures for themselves. Though the intentions of the aggressors were good, but i neither appreciate their means nor condemn . Investigation should take place for both parties on equal level (which i fear, will not happen, due to the influence of the alleged owner) and guilty party should be awarded sever penalties. well this issues has been debated a lot on different forums, including pakistaniat.com, karachi.metblogs etc. I think , this is a reaction to the lawlessness of the society we are living in.
