Every newspaper in Pakistan is reporting the murder of the very "respected", "well-known" artist named Gulgee. But, along with him, his wife and maid were also murdered and in the same brutal manner as he. The maid got killed because she was working as a live-in servant with the family of the "respected" artist.
We would like to see the day when the media reports the triple murder in the following order:
"First of all, we regret the death of another servant in one of the elite homes of Pakistan. Servants are not "disposable people," we think she was victimized because she was helping with the household chores of a busy and famous person. Not a fault of her own. The government of Pakistan should try to catch her murderers.
Then we condemn the murder of the wife who was also living with someone who had become famous because of his Islamization of the fine arts in the Zia ul Haq era.
Then we condemn the murder of the very famous artist Gulgee because he was a human being and every human being has the sovereign right to live which nobody can take away. Not even the government."
