I believe that where Ever In the world , the suppressed , raise voice Against Injustice , they are named as TERRORISTS ! Nothing special wih these people of karachi . Is there Any one who can deny the peace , prosperity , and progress in karachi , from 2002 to 2008 ? These golden moments were A mark on the history of PAKISTAN . . . .
then what changes took place , that disturbed the law and order situation In karachi ?
just come to the Answer , you will come to the culprits !
A couple of months too late! When mass massacre was let loose from katti pahari, for 6 days no law enforcing agency came to people’s rescue and now the operation takes place. There is no political will to apprehend the criminal elements who have brought the tribal mindset into Karachi (since the mid 60s and gained full strength by the mid 80s) where weaponry and mindless killers demarcate land under ones jurisdiction. There is no understanding of rule of law, where civil rights make no meaning and therefore have no respect. The people of katti pahari need to be moved to another plain location otherwise this will remain a safe haven for people whose livelihood is killing because they have no other skills to live off from, please evacuate Katti pahari, that is no place to live in a city like Karachi, please give its residents another place to go to, otherwise Karachi will never have its much deserved peace
I am just loving this operation. By the grace of God, I can see the scare going away (though slowly but steadily), that people had while travelling form one place to another. I hope this thing continues forever. (I said forever cause i know that once this operation ends, all the criminals will resurface).
why? arent we going to have peace talks with them..
Keep it up!
We must apprehend all sorts of terrorists whether they are from Al-Qaeda, Taliban or from any political party or religion wing from Karachi and Pakistan.
The day terrorists are eradicated from Karachi and Pakistan, the country will start progressing.
