Take into account the rights of our fellow citizens
We, the citizens of Pakistan, are a nation. To be like one, we need to give due regard to the rights of everyone. It is our responsibility to be mindful of the rights of other citizens. And then expect the same. A good citizen takes good care about his actions which do not harm the rights of any other. Let’s look into it with the aid of a simple common life example. One will not play loud music at night when he knows his fellow neighbor could be taking rest and his action can harm his right of enjoying his property. In law we call all these as easement rights. You can study the easement rights in more detail and know your duties towards your next door fellows.
