@Lyari_awam: Liyari has become a epicenter of Crimes everybody in Karachi knows that......large majority of liyarians have become hostage by these criminals........operation against the criminals is the voice of Karachites
@Indus: DEAR INDUS Criminals are operating from the leyari to whole Karachi and they are become a mafia of drugs, weapons and land. People of Karachi witnessed heinous crimes from the criminal of Peoples Amn Committee headquartered in Liyari.....the epicenter of crime in the city nowadays thats why the police conducting the operation against liyari....how people can defend the criminals to be innocent get yourself correct
@Lyari_awam: at least when compared with lyari and aman committee, the 90 is an area of angels!! rest of karachi is indeed city of angels who like development and peace, not destruction and gang wars!!
@MA: lolx..While rest of Karachi is city of angels and Pious people. Stop using propaganda. What about 90? Is it area of angles?
Stop crying foul everyone, anyone who is from Karachi knows for a fact that Lyari the the Terrorist's "nest" in Karachi.
Lyari is burning and people are being attacked by state machinary on the behest of their allied partner. Lyari has been made "goat of Sacrifice" to please MQM. But Where is PMLN, PTI, Sindhi Nationalists, Religious parties and Human right groups??? Cant they raise voice against one sided operation against peaceful people of Lyari? If PPP is under pressure from their partners, what stops other parties to raise their voice?
Will PPP ever dare to attack on 90 in hunt of criminals? How easy for PPP it is to attack their own power base through use of brute force on the behest of MQM. People of Lyari always sacrificed for the sake of PPP, they laid their lives for PPP but what a golden return, they get now..they are being attacked in their own Govt. Is Lyari only place in Karachi where criminals reside? What about Nazim Abad, Aziz Abad, Liquat Abad? One sided operation against own workers may please MQM but PPP will loose for ever their strong base. People of Pakistan should raise voice against one sided operation and killing of Lyarittes. PPP should STOP bowing down before the demands of MQM.
