Punjab Governor Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar has said that in order to eradicate violence against women, child abuse and other crimes, at least 5 to 10 criminals should be punished every day by the court, and the violence should be treated as terrorism.
While addressing the 11th National Youth Peace Festival in Lahore on Wednesday, Governor Sarwar stated that the system of punishment and retribution must be ensured at every level in the country.
He added that in order to eradicate crime and provide justice to the people in police stations, along with the elimination of police station culture, police reform had also become a need of the hour.
Moreover, he stated that the perpetrators of crimes against women and children were also terrorists and must be punished severely according to the constitution.
No concessions could be made to them, he maintained.
The governor said that unfortunately violence and extremism were on the rise all over the world, and youth in Pakistan were working to bring peace and prevent violent extremism.
Governor Sarwar was of the view that the young generation was the catalyst for change and the future of the country.
He added that Prime Minister Imran Khan and his team were determined that the youth of the country had self-confidence and skills for the modern age, to play a role in the rapidly changing world.
