KARACHI: The Leader of the Opposition in Sindh Assembly, Haleem Adil Sheikh, Friday, along with local PTI leaders paid a visit to house of Abdul Rehman, a 7-year-old boy who was killed after being molested in New Karachi area of the metropolis.

Haleem offered condolence with the bereaved family and received information about the inhuman incident. He said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was standing besides the affected family and assured them of every financial and legal assistance.

Speaking on the occasion, he bemoaned that even innocent children were not safe from molesters and termed it as matter of grave concern for whole the society. “We must play our part proactively to prevent such crimes around us,” he stressed adding that collective efforts by all the segments of society were required for creating zero tolerance against crimes against humanity and to discourage trends of obscenity and vulgarity.

Everyone should understand the pain of this family particularly those who opposed in the parliament capital punishment to such beasts, Haleem Adil Sheikh said and asked “God forbid if our child was a victim, would we oppose it?”

He expressed satisfaction over the active role of the police in this case and urged the police to use all available resources, especially digital technology, to track down the culprits and come up with a strong case so that perpetrators of such inhumane crimes could be sentenced to death. Sheikh also stressed on police to carry out action against sell and use of drugs in the area.
