Pakistani civil society, celebrities, cricketers and politicians have united to demand justice for minor girl, Zainab, who was raped and murdered in Kasur, Punjab.
The girl was found dead on Tuesday after she was kidnapped from Shehbaz Khan Road in Ghandra area and later raped. Her body was found five days after she went missing under mysterious circumstances.
People from all walks of life, including politicians, media persons and sports stars, have voiced their concern over the deteriorating norms and morality in Pakistani society. The police have yet to arrest the culprit behind the heinous crime.
The condemnable & horrific rape & murder of little Zainab exposes once again how vulnerable our children are in our society. This is not the first time such horrific acts have happened. We have to act swiftly to punish the guilty & ensure that our children are better protected. pic.twitter.com/9f7OM3hYT1

Meanwhile, Chief Minister (CM) Punjab Shehbaz Sharif took notice of the incident after the news started circulating on social media. The CM has ordered authorities to immediately arrest culprits and has also summoned a report from the inspector general of the police over the matter. The culprits won't be able to escape punishment, he said, adding that the family of the deceased girl will get justice. The CM has also said that he will personally supervise the progress of the case.
Many took to social media to condemn the incident and demanded justice for Zainab. “Being a father I just can’t imagine the pain of parents after this. Condolences to her parents and alarming situation to society we are living in. Government should do prompt action against the culprit and give justice to Zainab,” wrote Hafeez on social media.

Seems like the Punjab Government is more interested in saving their power rather than protecting the honor, dignity & respect of our daughters.#JusticeForZainab
I request the Supreme Court to take immediate Suo Moto action & apprehend the perpetrator(s).

Heartbreaking to see 7 year old Zainab’s lifeless body found assaulted and abused in the trash in Kasur. This is the site of many incidents of horrific child abuse crimes but little action taken by the provincial Govt. #SayNoToChildAbuse https://t.co/oWfr8jd4GU
