Increasing crime

By our correspondents
October 16, 2016

One of the biggest social problems of the country is the increasing crime rate. The government is not only unable to provide security to the people of the state but it is has also failed to find out the root cause of crimes. The root cause of the increasing crime rate is unemployment and an unfair justice system. The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer.

Although Pakistan is an Islamic state, it has forgotten the basic Islamic principles of fair governance. Corruption and sectarian violence have divided the country. Instead of being one powerful unit we have divided ourselves into many groupings which have reduced the strength of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. It is very important to get rid of these social problems as soon as possible before it gets too late and we give our enemies a golden chance to rule us.
