The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leaders in Lahore have called for a judicial inquiry into the mysterious deaths of two women in Pakpattan, who were allegedly found dead in police custody. The women were reportedly discovered with apparent heart attacks.
PPP leader Ahmed Ghuman said the police system in Punjab had "collapsed". He criticized Maryam Nawaz for "rising crimes against women" and demanded polygraph tests of her aides. Ghuman also asked the government to order postmortems for the girls, following the same standards set in the Raza Mir case. He urged the federal interior minister to assist in rebuilding the capacity of Punjab's police force.
Sania Kamran praised Field Marshal Asim Munir for his role in easing tensions between the US and Iran, as well as President Zardari's diplomacy. However, she urged talks with the Muslim League over issues in Azad Kashmir. She raised concerns over re-polling controversies and demanded justice for assault victims beyond mere suspensions.
Azain Gulzar criticized Lahore's "collapsed sewerage system", worsening traffic, limited "Suthra Punjab" coverage, poor hospital conditions, and rising load-shedding despite solar investments. He demanded a transparent probe into police-related assaults on women.
