Elite class culture in jails mocks law; against Islamic spirit, human rights: Firdous

KARACHI, Jul 25 (APP):Special Assistant to Prime Minister (SAPM) on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan Thursday said the elite class culture in jails is mocking at the law which is against the Islamic spirit and human rights.

Talking to media, she said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had come into power to end this discrimination from the society, adding, “The A, B and C class nomination of jails is creating disparity among the prisoners and if this distinction could not be finished in prisons then it would be a greater ill for the social fabric hence disrupting social equality.”
“The public had seen how the elite (political big guns) in prison had been doing in the jails. There apathetic attitude was the mockery of the law,” she added.
