Until govt is ready to deal with all criminals and terrorists with an iron hand, dream of peace cannot come true
KARACHI: The rate of targeted killings and terrorist activities has sprung upwards in recent months. Peaceful people lost their precious lives in this carnage. Unfortunately, due to political interests, the government is silently observing everything and taking cosmetic steps to calm the burning situation.
Things are going from bad to worse each day. Until the government is ready to deal with all criminals and terrorists with an iron hand — regardless of their political affiliations — and remove politically appointed security personnel, the dream of peace cannot come true in Karachi. My question to the authorities is: how many more dead bodies of our loved ones should we shoulder?
