Death of MQM MPA (II)

KARACHI: People need to show patience and should not jump to conclusions. We need to stay united and not let our enemies get the better of us. This game has been played in Guatemala, Colombia, Iraq and now it is Pakistan’s turn and where else but Karachi, the heart of Pakistan’s economy. This so-called fight between the MQM and the ANP is senseless and it will not help us.

Shias and Sunnis in Iraq never quarrelled for centuries yet now they are bloodthirsty. Please maintain sanity. Both parties need to understand this and make extra efforts to ensure there is no further violence in the country’s largest city and commercial and business hub.
