The video of Chief Minister
Shahbaz Sharif’s daughter, Rabia Imran, throwing her weight around inside a
bakery in Lahore is making the rounds online these days. She demanded that the
closed bakery be opened specially for her so that she be able to purchase the
items she wanted. When that did not go her way, she showed how rude she could
be by abusing the bakery shop worker — who was helpless because of the
instructions of the management — and then, later on in the evening, the CCTV
footage shows that her hired goons returned to the bakery and beat up the
worker. This is a rotten example of how the elite has deluded itself into
thinking it can do whatever it wants, by hook or by crook. The CM has arrested
his son-in-law in answer to this footage because they were his guards. However,
should the onus of responsibility not lie with the person who ordered the
guards to do the nasty in the first place? That person is the CM’s own
daughter.
