A gang which is reputed for running all sorts of rackets is issued license to own shiploads of guns by a provincial minister. The gang besides occasional territorial fights, guards peace in Lyari Area under the name of Amn Committee. . The gun totting gentlemen carry a price on their heads. To gain their support in the coming elections, it is declared that they are no more a danger. At this MQM puts its foot down saying,"Enough is enough." . The gang continues on, in business as usual mode. I wish I could understand even an iota of what is going on.
