Karachi may see troubled times ahead

Is it just a coincidence that one day before the Nuclear Supply Group (NSG)’s meeting to discuss India and Pakistan’s request for membership a very prominent celebrity, Amjad Sabri Qawal, was mercilessly murdered in broad daylight? This tragic incident was preceded by kidnapping of Sindh Chief Justice’s son. Both these incidents very quickly became world news, covered by almost all news media of the globe. The message conveyed is that Pakistan is an unstable State and should not be considered for such an important membership. India, whereas is visibly a stable country and qualifies for the slot, which it lost not because of vibrant diplomacy, but because of China and others.

Is it not clear who would benefit the most from these tragic incidents at this particular time? It is India and only India! Amjad Sabri was never a threat to any Taliban Group and was never a prominent target for them. Whoever killed him did it on the behest of someone who wanted to benefit from it in order to give bad publicity to Pakistan and at this particular time. The so called Taliban Group, who claimed responsibility for Sabri’s murder, is working for Indian RAW and Afghan Intelligence Agencies.

It is being said that MQM is organising a force consisting of family members of those individuals who were killed during encounters with the Rangers or those who are missing. A propaganda campaign is also launched against Rangers while portraying them as corrupt and inhuman. Different videos of Rangers showing collection of valuables, mobiles and watches during search operation are shown which supplements the propaganda against Rangers. It is being said that after four to six months the trained Avengers of MQM will start target killing of Rangers official or troops.
