It’s hilarious that lawyers of the Lahore Bar Association have turned against the media that supported them when they were performing a circus few days ago. The reason behind it is Mr. Naeem – the lawyer who killed his servant. The good news is that the magistrate has granted 3 days remand of Advocate Chaudhry Naeem. However, his wife & sister-in-law have obtained pre-arrest bails; FIR has also been registered against them.
This case has again given an auspicious opportunity to lawyers for performing another circus. They raised slogans against the media & didn’t allow the media to cover the court proceedings. Some lawyers also pushed the media people out of the court & some cut off the cables of various TV channels.This serves the media right, cause they love to give their opinions rather than sticking to the report & the facts. But it also says a lot about the lawyers of this country. Why do they want to hide the proceedings from people?
The lawyers are saying that the media has projected this case in a very unfair manner. According to them, the maid Shazia fell from the stairs. Mr. Naeem & his family are not involved in her death. Or shall we say murder? Lawyers have also been claiming that Shazia had some chronic disease & Mr. Naeem got her treated. I wonder did the treatment require man-handling. Advocate G.A. Tariq said that she had fungus infection that caused wounds on her body & damaged her nails. The explanation given by all these lawyers could even make a dumb person think. They need to stick to one story.
As I said in my previous write-up ‘Lawyer killed his servant’ that lawyers are too good when they want to be. Some are saying that she fell from the stairs, which is the cause of her death. That means there could be some broken bones or something. Some are also claiming that she had some chronic disease & she was under-treatment. I’m sorry she got treated. There’s a difference I know. Alright. Then we have Advocate Tariq saying that she had fungus infection, which is the reason why she had wounds all over her body & her nails are damaged. It means that the dead body has wounds, not broken bones or fractured bones due to the fall & yeah damaged nails. One more point, if she got treated, how come she had wounds & damaged nails?
I think the police need to dig the history of Mr. Naeem. Has he always been into man-handling his servants? This is a very crucial question, to begin with. Was Shazia really suffering from some chronic fungus disease? Or is it all farce?
By the way, lawyers will boycott courts on Wednesday in support of Mr. Naeem. They are kind of getting used to entertain the public. I’m looking forward to the photos.
I’m so sorry to say but we need better lawyers in this country. This girl was just 13 years old. She was somebody’s daughter too. Her murderer/murderers ought to be punished. No one is above law...not even lawyers & judges. And if this lawyer has committed a crime, then he must be punished accordingly. This is what justice demands. Life of a maid is no less than the life of an elitist. Let’s see what happens.
