Sir: It is an open secret that people do not feel safe or secure in Pakistani society nowadays. Crime has risen to an unacceptable level and is on an upward trajectory, to say the least. The reports from various parts of the country have revealed that the number of people feeling unsafe in their homes at night has nearly doubled. This means that our state organs and institutions including the legislature, executive and judiciary are not working according to the objectives enshrined and guaranteed in the Constitution of Pakistan. In such a dismal scenario, what will be the future of the state and society, an ordinary man wants to know. Hashim Abro Islamabad
