It was terrible and very horrific to learn from the media reports about the solitary confinement of the two sisters and their fathers in Lahore. Where it told the fact that how low a human could stoop, it also showed how much low our social norms have plummeted and how the frustration level has risen, and how apathetic people have become.
Nighat aged 37 and Riffat aged 25, freed after 15 years of solitary confinement from Lahore is not the story from some fiction novel, rather its the truth of 21st century, and it is what is on the lips of everyone, and one wonders why it has come so late, as the incidents happened in the bustling heart of the city of Lahore.
Rescue men of chief minister and people of area raided a house near Bari Studios today and got the two sisters freed who underwent 15 years of agony. Nighat and Riffat were chained and put into solitary confinement by their brother, Qaiser who is an Ex- WAPDA official. The whole blame was put to the brother, but the truth is that the whole neighborhood is responsible.
The million dollar question is that how it is possible that for fifteen long years, nobody in the neighborhood ever wondered about the sisters and their father?
