The poor waiters

As the population grows in the Capital City, incidents of violence, aggression and abuse against the poor, in particular, have increased, which are frequently being displayed on roads, in markets and in homes.
Almost every day there occurs an incident of like in various localities of Islamabad.
The spoilt brats of the rich and influential residents have made the life of others insecure and unsafe-from car lifting to eve teasing, from quarrelling on petty matters to maltreating their servants, male or female.
One can count numerous such cases; the recent ones involving sons of civil and military officers, and now federal ministers too, that go unchecked by law-enforcing agencies.
The most unfortunate aspect of these episodes is the indifferent and apathetic attitude demonstrated by others present on the occasion. The other day, an incident happened in Jinnah super market.
A family group, headed by a former female TV artist, had a brawl and physically assaulted a waiter of a multi-national chain of pizza restaurants.
The waiter had faulted to suggest owner of one of their two cars, each with blackened glasses, to park properly so as to facilitate other guests of the restaurant.
Not only that she abused the waiter, her young son started beating up the poor chap, forcefully put him in the car and drove away.
This 20-minute horrific act was done in the presence of a large number of on-lookers, including restaurant management, but nobody came forward to rescue the waiter. Hats off to a lady present there who protested against the inhuman behaviour, and asked someone to call the police.
The crowd was then moved, barricading the car of aggressor's mother and insisting that her son should come back along with the waiter.
Meanwhile, police party reached and, to the surprise of everyone, the mighty rich aggressor was accompanying the police, obviously for his protection.
The police officially reported nothing, and nobody knows what happened to the poor waiter. As in other cases in the past, no news of the gory incident appeared in the next day's newspapers. Who cares, any way!
