Lahore
and her family, members of civil society gathered outside the Lahore Press Club
to demand justice. Raising slogans against the Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif
and his Punjab government, the abysmally low turnout marched from the Lahore
Press Club to congregate at the Charing Cross on Shahrah-e-Quaid-e Azam.
“Justice
needs to be prompt and quick. Such barbarous acts against human bodies have
become an incidence of power culture,” said Ms Michelle Chaudhry, President Cecil & Iris Chaudhry Foundation.
Part
of the few who decided to let their physical presence matter rather than ventilate
on the social media, the members of The
Cecil & Iris Chaudhry Foundation also went to the Services Hospital
in Lahore to stand outside the Intensive Care Unit for a brief prayer for
Sumbal’s recovery.
“The
suo moto action by the Chief Justice of Pakistan was indeed quick, but is that
the solution to our ills? Why did the police initially refuse to register an
FIR when Sumbal’s parents went to register her missing?” stated Ms Chaudhry.
