#HangRapistsPublicly: NA Resolution, Fawad Chaudhry’s comments leave netizens divided
National Assembly on February 7 has passed the resolution demanding public hanging for child rapists, however, the netizens seem to be divided over the decision.
The resolution was tabled by Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Mohammad Khan, stating that rapists of children should be awarded the death penalty and executed publicly.
After the resolution was passed, there comes opposition to the resolution from within the government as well as from the public.
Federal ministers including Fawad Chaudhry and Shireen Mazari have expressed their concerns regarding the passed resolution.

In present times of social media, availing their right of freedom of expression netizens are expressing their views with hashtag #HangRapistsPublicly on the recently passed resolution:
Its never the intensity but certainity of punishment that deters crime.
Making barbaric laws will further brutalize the society.
It is a step in the wrong direction. #hangrapistspublicly https://t.co/YIRYkRymkS— Asher Azeem (@ashirazeemgill) February 7, 2020
This might be a debatable topic for some of us but public hanging for rapists is the need of the hour. The spike in child abuse cases and rape cases is proof enough that we need to set examples. The only barbarism I know is RAPE and ABUSE it self. #HangRapistsPublicly

Populist slogans, playing with emotions, giving people a way to vent frustrations but real solutions to transform society like programs for awareness & understanding of children & parents will be resisted. SC has already held that public hangings are violative of the Constitution https://t.co/K0KBuOYj9x

Only a special kind of sick person can RAPE A CHILD. There is no redemption to this. It doesn’t stop if we don’t stop it. Minister sahab just because it’s not somebody from your household doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. Highly condemn this statement. #hangrapistspublicly https://t.co/yndkjgJz1u

It’s not about the UN humans right but trust me, The intensity of this punish is that much harsh thay after 1 or 2 cases no one would even be thinking to do this ever again. #HangRapistsPublicly
