The people of Pakistan have to restore peace in the country.If we will not pressurize the political parties then nothing will happen.In fact no one is sincere Govt, opposition and the PEOPLE.All are opportunist.Un fortunately we have Tradional Politics in our country. all the decision maker of Pakistan are business man and unorganised masses are facing the consequences.All the leader comes on TV and used to say rhat our people are "BA-SHA -HOUR' this is tactic and the reality is this that when we will get SHAHOUR they all will leave
Rangers must arrest all target killers, no matter which political party they belongs to.
Peace must prevail in Karachi by all means as people living in Karachi are sick and tired of law and order situation and unrest created by the political mafia.
Honestly there is no point of this, these target killers will be out before you know it, as always.
Everyone is playing safe, Everyone is afraid of saying the truth, whether its govt, its agencies, its police, its govt or its media and same happened here in this report.
Halfhearted operation.
glad to see that ranger is taking actions indiscriminately. be it lyari, korangi, gulshan or watever area ... please catch them all and take them to courts with evidences.
Useless report and waste of space in the news paper. By the way where are names and their affiliations???? Please don't waste our previous time going through blind folded news.
You think rangers will restore peace in Khi. These people have been in Karachi for twenty years and they still cant restore order? Give me a break! If you remember, respectable people no less than the teachers (professors, lecturers, etc) of Karachi University were up against the rangers (this incident also covered in media) for conducting and patronizing dacoities and robberies in residential compounds within Khi Univ. Two of their personnel were spotted red-handed in a dacoity and then they started threatening the teachers that if they report this, they will face dire consequences. This is what prompted the teachers to come out and protest against them. The starting point for Khi peace is to push rangers out and spend the gigantic sum being spent on them on building a effective police force built from karachi locals of all ethnicities who have family, friends, business etc, all interests in Khi.
