Violent protests

Kazi Shoaib, On e-mail
It is not the right way in which the garment workers are protesting against the declared minimum wages. It is extremely shocking for the whole nation that they vandalised a number of shops and lots of vehicles as part of their protest. Protest should never be violent and destructive causing a huge damage to public property. All demonstrators could have gathered in front of the relevant ministry to express their demands. As these labourers have a prime contribution to our economy, the authorities must be aware of their needs. It is also important to introduce a new legislation to stop such harmful activities.
