The alleged hatred among different communities is hardly ever witnessed in upscale areas of the city.
KARACHI: This is with reference to Shahid Javed Burki’s article of August 15 titled “Exploding Karachi”. The shoot-outs in Karachi now taking place regularly are being controlled and instigated by greedy mobs who fully understand the long-term importance of Karachi which is the nearest warm-water sea port for Central Asian countries of the former Soviet Union.
The alleged hatred among different communities is hardly ever witnessed in upscale areas of the city. In other words, if educated people are residing in a locality, there is less likelihood of such friction. There is something more than what meets the eye and the government seems to be least interested in finding a solution.
