The Bottom Line

Rajab Butt’s assault was unlawful, unjustifiable, and corrosive to the rule of law. At the same time, the incident exposes a deeper crisis: a society where outrage sells, institutions retaliate, and restraint is absent on all sides.

Pakistan does not need influencer worship.
It does not need mob lawyers.
It needs law, consistency, and the courage to let courts—not crowds—decide
