Proposals for Projecting a Strong and Hard State Image
1. Uniform and Uncompromising Enforcement of the Rule of Law
– The rule of law must be applied without exception, ensuring that no VIP is above legal accountability.
– A key starting point is the strict enforcement of traffic regulations, reinforcing the absolute authority of traffic police.
2. Military Oversight for Traffic Law Enforcement in High-Risk Cities
– In major cities such as Karachi, Hyderabad, Lahore, Multan, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Peshawar, and Quetta, traffic accidents claim countless lives, and the VIP culture has fostered a “state within a state.”
– To restore order, traffic police should be placed under military police supervision, with cases tried in military courts, ensuring swift and decisive legal action.
3. Zero Tolerance for Reckless Celebratory Gunfire
– The state must impose the harshest penalties and ensure swift legal action against individuals involved in celebratory gunfire at weddings and election victories.
– Enforcing stringent measures will serve as a deterrent and reaffirm the government’s commitment to public safety.
