Equality before Law
By Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd.)
Westridge, Rawalpindi


According to a news report prisoner Mian Nawaz Sharif was taken around the Adiala Jail prison cells to meet the prisoners where he also met his son-in-law ex-Captain Muhammad Safdar.
Another news report claimed that IG Prisons issued orders that all facilities be provided to prisoner Maryam Nawaz immediately.
Would such treatment be meted to an ordinary prisoner?
I have personally nothing against the Sharifs but where is the Holy Prophet’s saying in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, “By Allah, even if my daughter Fatima had committed theft, her hand would have been chopped off. The previous people were doomed because they had one law for the elite and rich and another for the poor and downtrodden ones.”
Islamic Republic of Pakistan Zindabad.
