At least three people were killed and 11 others injured in fresh spate of violence Tuesday morning in the metropolis areas including Hasan Square, Shershah and Orangi Town, police said.
According to the details, angry people distressed by firing incidents in the area set a vehicle ablaze in Qasba Colony this morning. The firing incidents here are every day’s routine which killed at least two people and injured three others.
Later on, Kati Pahari road was closed down for traffic. Citizens said city administration seems helpless viz-a-viz continuous firing incidents.
Meantime, two armed groups locked horns bursting into gunfire at city’s important center Hasan Square, resultantly, three people were injured. Later on, enraged people pelted the passing vehicles with stones near Old Sabzi Mandi, causing this vital road to be closed for an hour.
Meantime, some unidentified miscreants shot down a man and injured five other people. The injured were shifted to Civil Hospital.
Markets and other commercial centers in the area were closed in the wake of firing incidents.
Police registered cases of the incident and started investigation.
For how long anarchy on the streets of this particular district of Karachi will continue. The Rangers are visible every where but as soon as violence erupts these saviours of the ciizens disappear. Billions of dollars are being spent on the military with purchase of state of art weaponary and allied equipment but without providing security when called upon. I think the priorities are absolutely wrong when it comes to internal security. The police is ill educated, ill trained and ill equiped. There are so called police commandos and elite force but have they done anything positive in the situations which are now occuring all too frequently.
Why can't the government prepare a RDF(Rapid Deployment Force) on similar lines as we see here in London. The personnel should be highly paid and equiped and there should be logistic support unlike we see rickey APCs on the streets of Karachi. This RDF should have airborne unit with armed choppers and infrared vision goggles.
Unless the government does not take serious steps as I have outlined above the present Dad's army will never be able to cope with these murderers which I suspect belong to a party who has held the city's peace at ransom.
Where is the President of Pakistan. Karachi is burning. The Prime Minister is good for nothing. The CM of Sindh is hapless.
MQM supremo has issued a statement of possible strikes and protests until the fall of the government if, according to him, ANP continues to fire upon defenceless citizens. I suspect the pull out from the government is all under a plan. MQM is superb in creating law and order situation and then put the blame on the opposition parties. These are all calculated moves by the MQM to destabilise the situation and unfortunately PML_N is unwittingly falling into the trap set by MQM. Mr Nawaz Sharif should realise that MQM can pull the rug under their feet as well. MQM would have no qualms about it.
The seed you sow the harvest you reap. Zia created MQM in 70s and this has now become a Frakenstein's monster. The leader of the MQM is sitting in London as an asylum seeker and has British nationality. His clandestine activities continue unabated under the nose of British authorities. It is very unfortunate that British government has given this megalomaniac a free hand to play with the lives of the citizens in Karachi more than three thousand miles away from London. The British government is obviously under the influence of the US government and protecting this man. The reason advanced by the British government is that he is not commiting any crime on the Brisih soil. Such is the duplicity on the British and US governments that they are fighting 'war against terrorists' thousands of miles away from the British and American soil but would not take any action against someone who is masterminding violence from London.
My view is that the situation in Karachi will improve in few weeks if not in days if this man sitting in London is investigated by the Scotland Yard where a dossier prepared by Imran Khan is already lying in cold storage and unactioned.
Lastly, I would blame the disastrous policy of reconciliation pursued by Mr Zardari and letting these thugs to continue their terrorist activities when a judicial commission could have easily been formed to investigate 12th May carnage in Karachi. Zardari's policy has emboldened these thugs so much that it would be difficult now to neutralise them. Asif Zardari will soon be repenting on his policy of capitulation when there was no need to take them in the government when they had clear majority for the first time.
