Karachi should be handover to army to conduct cleanup operation of the while city.Also it is very important to break enemies networks.For Pakistan army coup is better then any so called democratic governments which are failed in every way of life.
You are inviting Army…why ? it is not their job…they have enough on their plate already & enough criticism also…leave them alone for god`s sake….let us eat the fruits of democracy….these killing etc; are fruits of democracy..I am sorry, but it sounds cinical & sadistic but it is the truth, let us face it….was Karachi that bad 4.5 years ago ? yet people do not realise…this will only lead to a day when ALL Karachites take up arms & fight for " survival of the fittest " to conclude….
MQM has always been a very difficult ally, even under Musharraf, when
it enjoyed considerable influence in Sindh and at the Centre. In line with late Benazir Bhutto’s legacy of reconciliation with all political stakeholders, the PPP sagaciously included the MQM in the coalition government in Sindh, when it did not need its support to form the government, and at the Centre. This also accrued to the advantage of avoiding unnecessary tensions that were sure to confront the government had MQM been kept outside the coalition, given its considerable support base in urban Sindh and hold over the local government in Karachi. Now it seems that the MQM is headed down the path of brinkmanship, which it has always used successfully to extort favourable terms for an exclusive control over areas under its control, which appears jeopardized by the unraveling of Musharraf’s local bodies system. Frictions between the two parties persist because MQM has not been averse to use illegal means to maintain its
control. Even now, its political assertiveness at the expense of all other parties and ethnic groups is the basis of the tensions in Karachi. Since arms are readily available, there are often attempts to resolve political conflict through the barrel of a gun. Target killings are part of such attempts. Parochial interests notwithstanding, can we afford to create a fresh front in Karachi when the government is already grappling with a serious security threat in the rest of the country?
