Like Karachi, the commercial hub of Pakistan and the capital city of Sindh province, indeed, once proverbially peaceful city, certain other areas in are experiencing worst kind of anarchism. The police and other law enforcement agencies personnel are doing nothing to control anarchy there; they are playing a role of silent spectators. Their crime-friendly attitude and behaviour has not only become condemnable but also questionable in the eyes of all and sundry. How a few dozen of dacoits and tribal outlaws in the said areas can hold hostage to our well-trained and well-equipped law enforcement agencies’ personnel?
It is painful to reveal here that our ruling elite, a majority of whom have turned to be aristocrats during these four and a half years in power, are seen day in and day out busy with the auction of politics, land grabbing, encroachment and minting of money. Hence, the rule of law, peace and order, progress and prosperity in the province is not on their agenda.
However, from the prevalent situation it appears that the incumbent rulers have failed to run the province or they have no fear of God’s wrath because masses gave them a mandate to bring peace and prosperity in the province, not to market and multiply their miseries which they have done.
