They are not angels

Phrases and idioms will not help us. A foreign country will not solve our problems. Hating crime and pleading for the criminals are not the same thing . I wish some people could understand this plain truth. Our problem is we talk too much and don't work. When outlaws kill and chop innocent civilians, we read newspapers and say, "The country has gone astray, what the hell is the government doing?" And when the government deploys law enforcers to fight the terrorists, we say," Human rights are being violated, stop Rab, they are killing people."

We should remember that killing one terrorist is equal to saving hundreds of innocent lives. And if I talk about the corrupt Rab member who has been captured recently for taking bribe, I will say that human beings are not angels. There are temptations everywhere. You can't expect good service from anyone without any deviation. One person might be corrupt, it does not necessarily mean that each Rab member takes bribe! Rab members as well as the police force need better salary that might keep them away from corruption.
