Karachi faced a complete shutdown on Tuesday as traders, transporters, and fuel station owners decided to keep their regular operations closed after the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) announced that a ‘day of mourning’ would be observed against the ongoing wave of violence that has claimed nearly 100 lives in less than a week.
Following MQM’s announcement, all local traders announced to keep all business centers and markets closed while the transporters also announced to keep all transport shut. The private schools association announced to keep all schools closed, while the government schools and colleges were opened but the attendance in those was very thin.
All roads of the metropolitan were deserted and traffic was much lesser than the routine. Public transport was completely missing from the entire city while all small and big trade centers and markets were closed. Moreover, most shops in other cities, including Hyderabad, Sukkur, Sanghar, Mirpur Khas, Khairpur, and Nawab Shah were also shut.
Police arrested five activists of the MQM while they were torching tyres and doing aerial firing during their protest rally in Sanghar today.

  1. The MQM must take definite line of action on the exploding situation in Karachi. The policy of running with the hare and hunting with the hound is bringing discredit to the party and the public is becoming increasingly disenchanted with them. What is the point of joining the government if you cannot save your people?

  3. The strike was only observed due to THREAT of life and property. It has nothing to do with any love affair with any political or religious party. People are well aware what takes place if not followed "Pur Aman Hartal". I am not sorry to say this because this is truth. Yes, people are too much concerned about killings, abductions, extortion, burnings, migration from one area to another so on and so forth etc etc etc and to keep Karachi somewhat free from these barbarians operation is MUST but only by the Army. The other law enforcers are all in Compromise Positions.
