The latest round of violence that started around 17th or 18th August in Karachi was initiated by the MQM by kidnapping 3 Baloch boys from Tariq Road and swindling their mutilated bodies the next day. This started the most brutal and gruesome round of violence in the city. It transformed from targeted killing across parties and mafias to a virtual ethnic genocide.
MQM is unambiguously responsible for upping the ante, regardless of media projections to the contrary. This upping the ante then took the shape of the media chorus on military rule in Karachi. Although most of the people are of the view that MQM is a bunch of militants and PPP rather than reconcile with them, should deal it with through state power, however PPP is a democratic party and believes in democratic norms. Pursuing the policy of reconciliation PPP always extended olive branch to MQM just for the peace in the city and flourishment of democracy. MQM should stop undermining democracy and Government, It should join hands with Government for the peace of the city and strength of democracy.
