Karachi’s killing fields (II)
KARACHI:
Karachi has been severely affected with target killings and there seems to be no one in this country who is bothered by this. Scores of activists of various political parties have been killed in broad daylight and no measures have been taken to date to stop these killings.
From what I can surmise, it seems that the media indulges in self-censorship on this issue. For example, dozens of police officers involved in operations in Karachi against a particular political party have been murdered and no one has raised this issue at all.
