Hardly surprising when we have people who are factotums of the top man . They believe in the old Chinese adage : See no evil , hear no evil ,and speak no evil.
Well well well after all the dramas the conclusion is that the Army isnt going to come we all know why as the Army has been Bought by PPP.
so we Citizens have to solve this problem this mess Ourselves
Wake up Karachiansssssssssssssssssss & Pakistan wake up .
Before its tooo late
Pakistani nation is going through the worst leadership crisis in its history.....the list starts from the COAS himself ....what a poor show MR. Kiani ...but stay put ..probably another extension is on the swing.
After 900 people have been killed, the government "extends it's support". Words cannot define how incredibly incapable these people are.
Mr President your sons constituency is in danger or u still expect the jeeay bhutto card to work
Who authorized PPP so called "chore" committee to control Karachi people voice army presences in city. When will the army's take the courageous step and put their feets on ground and save Karachi from thugs, favours, bhutta khor comittee!
Mr. President: We would like to see results this time. Situation in Karachi will not improve with just rhetoric. Waiting...
Dear Mr. President:
A common man in Karachi has become sick and tired of the ongoing political unrest, target killings, Bhatta mafia, land grabbing, snatching of mobile phone, looting the banks and more particularly the sky high rising inflation not only in Karachi but in the entire Pakistan.
Thank you for making contingency plan for Karachi for operation cleanup. Kindly make sure that people involved in unethical activities should not only be arrested but should be tried in the courts of law, without any discrimination and political alliance.
Your task after the operation does not ends here. If you want that PPP should come back in the next general elections, then you must lower down the inflation rate of daily commodities, petrol diesel, kerosene oil and prices of eatables.
The operation should not only be restricted up to the Lyari gangsters but should also be against those shopkeepers who are looting the people in the name of inflation in Karachi and rest of the country.
The rate of per unit electricity, price of milk, vegetable and fruits are also very high. Frankly speaking people does not want you to remain in power any longer due to reasons mentioned above unless the inflation rates and graph of crimes comes down where a common man instead of attempting suicide should resists with the hop that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, as people of Pakistan has already lost hope that PPP who came in the power in the name of poor masses have crushed the same poor people who voted to bring PPP in power.
I hope that you will not like that way I have explained you the problems of Karachiites as well as of other Pakistanis but would at least appreciate that I have told you the truth, not like your ministers and advisor who every day tell you “Saab Theek Hai”.
