What they will say: Pakistan is an Islamic Republic and medinay ki riyasat
What is the reality: Woman molested by 400 men at Minare Pakistan on Independence Day during Azaan.
We preach religion and patriotism here but we follow hedionism and barbarism. #minarepakistan

The assault of a young women by a mob at #minarepakistan should shame every Pakistani. It speaks to a rot in our society. Those responsible must be brought to justice. The women of Pakistan feel insecure and it is all our responsibility to ensure safety and equal rights to all.

Now that we hav a plethora of evidence of what unfolded at #minarepakistan Can we finally see our police in action by putting those men responsible for this gruesome act behind the bars? Is this too much to ask for our women?#400men #lahoreincident #needanswers #protectourwomen

مینارِِ پاکستان پر بھیڑیوں کا شکار عائشہ کے پاس رات کے اس پہر اسے صرف یہ احساس دلانے پہنچا ہوں کہ اُس نے جنسی حیوانوں کو خلاف ایف آئی آر کروا کر جس بہادری کا ثبوت دیا ہے اس پر اُسے سلام ہے۔۔۔ مجھے اس جملے پر معاف کیجئے گا لیکن خوش قسمت ہیں وہ جنہیں اس ملک میں خدا نے بیٹی نہیں دی pic.twitter.com/PkOo8ns25X
