Despite repeated assurances from the government, hectic efforts by political and religious leaders, several peace rallies and a civil society begging for the restoration of peace, there was no letup in violence in Karachi as 31 people, including a child and a woman, lost their lives in the continuing bloodshed in the country’s financial hub on Monday.

karachi will continue to bleed as long as our cowardly media continues to stay silent on mqm's terrorist activities.all the urdu channels show interviews of muhajir families as the victims whereas in the past 3 years 70% of those killed have been pathans and punjabis.but our media channels will never go and interview the pakhtun or punjabi families ,only the muhajirs are to be shown as the victims,as the opressed whereas everyone in karachi knows that it is the bhai log party which carries out the vast majority of the target killings and burning of shops and buses.
I read this following comment recently in your great ;daily'which indicates free for all situation for ruler ,helped by Bisf type of schemes and MQM ghulam Tv cannels of karachi responsible for evil that bedevil my great country.Dubia,
MQM leaders from London or here daily give live telecast from London of millions of dollars per telecasts and had been spreading for months treason,mutiny,sedition among jawans,generals on live TV speeches without ant action, objection from opportunists,power,money hungry PPP-Z?Sadly even no jurists,judiciary,defense personnel, opposition parties,Imran Khan ever objected excepting one anonymous caller in Pakistan,I heard while in my recent stay in my beloved country. I feel that esteemed SCP must not be beholden to MR Benazir Bhutto,PPPZ beneficiary of judicial movement MR Aitzaz Hasan etc for showing softest corner to PPP-Z government,MR Zardari,Raza Galani,Babar Awan, Rehman Malik and others. I would also request Chief Election Commission to change the name of Benazir INCOME support fund supported by perhaps two trillion rupees of starving poor money to National Welfare project since iby its name I came across hundreds of people who believed this money comes from Bilawal,Zardari,Bakhta war and instead a pre poll rigging generating two crore voters for the most corrupt, incompetent ‘zalim hukoomat’of PPP-Z..If this schemes or WASEELA juk type has to go,it must be funded from the purses of Zardari,Bilawal,Bakhtawar,Asifa,PPP workers etc.If Pakistan has to stay with supremacy of constitution, rule of law, Judicial independence. justice for all and equal then all those who subvert independent, honest investigations and subvert justice, violate constitution should be punished in example for treason to constitution, rule of law,country and its poor people.During my recent stay I found only one anonymous caller,Jamal or Mustafa on TV channels in mad love with his poor people and Pakistan advocating for the cause of poor though his soul while TV anchors,newscasters,analsysts drawing salaries in seven –eight digits only speaking for their employers, masters or as loyalists to MQM,PPPZ being their paid ,party members,biased,prejudiced to project them as grand saviors-the devils incarnates. The earlier the nation gets rid of them the better
