The trigger happy Rangers inebriated by unfettered powers have done it again. They have completed yet another fiendish chapter of cruelty by killing an unarmed young man who was waiting for his matric result. Our security men have unchallenged supremacy overkilling the innocent citizens with surgeon like precision but when they face the terrorists, these security personnel start quaking in their boots like aspen leaves out of fear of being killed. As if the Kharotabad incident was not enough, the Rangers have murdered yet another innocent young boy named Sarfaraz Shah in the posh area of Clifton in Karachi on June 8. 2011. In my humble opinion, the defeat at the hands of terrorists is not being digested by our security men and they have started vomiting out their frustration in the form of bullets on the unarmed innocent people. Sarfaraz who was inhumanly killed was only having a toy gun with him. Ironically speaking, if you have a toy gun, please be careful not to sit in some park as you will be very much vulnerable to be gunned down by our own security men. But if you have state-of-the-art weapons as the terrorists have, you may go out fearlessly anywhere as the security personnel would definitely get afraid of you in the same way as they are overwhelmed with fear when they confront the terrorists. The protectors of our lives have become purveyors of death. The barbarous killing of ill-starred Sarfaraz Shah by the Rangers is reminiscent of the Dark Ages. I was stunned by the exhortation of the Prime Minister Gilani in the National Assembly on the brutal incident. He said that we must react to such killings but should remain in limits and should not use abusive language. Let me ask a simple question to the Prime Minister of Pakistan; If your 25-year-old innocent son is killed by anyone, will you sing the songs of praise for the murderer of your son? The highhandedness of our security men is a disease which has gone from acute to chronic stage. If the present aberration is not corrected in the foreseeable future, I am afraid, the people will neither go to the police nor will they knock the doors of courts to get their grievances redressed. Rather they will start settling their scores on the roads in the form of murder for murder and an eye for any eye. MUBUSHAR ALI SULEHRIA, Wah Cantt, June 10
