Three people were shot dead in Karachi on Monday.

The brother of Awami National Party (ANP) MNA Pervaiz Khan, Asif Jan  is among the dead. Asif Jan, a City District Government Karachi (CDGK) employeem, was shot dead near Civic Centre. An SHO is among several injured.

The killing adds to a recent surge in attacks on ANP office bearers and their family members.

2 dead as flood refugees and police clash

Two people have died and at least 12 have been injured after a group of flood refugees from Sindh clashed with police in Karachi’s Sachal goth.

The clash took place after a police team led by Superintendent Police asked flood refugees to vacate a townhouse.

The police were called by the owner of the house but when they asked the refugees to leave, they were fired upon from inside and neighboring townhouses.

Two persons lost their lives when police fired back. An angry mob led by armed men went on a rampage burning down an office, motorcycles and a mini-bus.

    It is quite obvious that who is doing this and why. In my view, a ‘third’ party is instigating violence by killing members of both the MQM and ANP. A classic use of the ‘divide and rule’ principle!Recommend

    Usual blame game. When ANP’s activist is killed, it is the work of black sheep . When MQM’s activist is killed, it is always the Taliban or ANP behind it. When will this blame game stop? I find ANP in Karachi at least more tolerable that they don’t immediately blame MQM comparatively the way MQM blames ANP all the time!Recommend

    No body is going to get any thing out of the brutal killings.

    For God’s sake stop killing. I do not understand why this is all happening in Quaid’s made Pakistan which was made as welfare state and not to kill the people.

    Killing another person is equivalent to killing own brother. Is this the teachings of Islam?Recommend

    these brutal acts are done by proestablishment elements , because ANP proves itself as a single protector and defensive party of oppressed nations and innocent masses.Recommend

    This religion is dead and gone from this planet for at least 1000 years. We have some people that practice a similar offshoot of the so called mystery religion.Recommend

    It is senseless! It’s barbaric! Now, the targeted killings have assumed an alarming proportions. Such killings have to be stopped before it is too late. We cannot afford more such brutal killings. Enough is enough! All the political parties must realise that their failure to run the governemnt means inviting the Army. They must fear the day when people themselves will demand army to take reins of the country, for they no longer want such inefficient government whose rule give them nothing but hunger, unemployment, bloodshed and other evils.

    I request the governent and all the political parties to act together to sort out and settle their problems once and for all in the larger interest of the people of Pakistan.Recommend

    Start counting the days. The playground is all set to bring back Army back into the limelight. These killings are deliberate attempt to make ground for army to move in swiftly and handle the Country once again.Recommend

    it’s really senseless and target killing is really not an affordable issue,i dont think that Asif uncle was very much active in the matters of ANP..
    i agree vid the thought that its the work of the ‘third party’..but one thing, what was the mistake of Asif uncle?,he was just passing a normal life as a common Pakistani..plz plz it should be stopped,our politicians has to think over it.
    May Allah bless him and bless his family…
    May Allah keeps mercy upon Pakistan,
    Hope 4 the Good futureRecommend
