When regionalism takes root and ethnicity prevails, when petty uneducated leaders attack another group without regard to feelings what else is going to happen? Pathans lived happily in Karachi until ANP came from Mardan and polarised society by playing electoral and vote bank politics. This should not happen. We are all Pakistanis and nothing else. We must develop all areas particularly PK so that they dont have to come to Karachi for a living and politics for ANP. Where has all the love and affection between Karachi residents gone? People coming to Karachi for a living should come without arms. Any one stating "Hathyar hamara zevar hai" must be arrested tried and punished as per law. Promote lawfulness and not lawlessness.
Enough is enough this city was made great by mohajirs and today outsiders are taking away is greatness and peace.
Dear All, I have gone through valuable comments of all and appreciate. All solution sound good but actual problem arises when person nominated in FIR is not arrested and becomes absconder. In my opinion, the security forces must focus their attention to all absconder and try their best to arrest them all. This will bring significant improvement in law and order situation in Karachi. However, if absconders are not arrested, security forces must conduct operation to apprehend them or kill them on sight.
Security forces must depoliticized and given power to shoot on sight any absconder and and criminal they come across. Furthermore security forces must be equipped with latest weaponry to counter the growing incidents of crimes and target killings.
The day police mobile escort service of SP,SSP, DIG,IG police is withdrawn, there will be safety and security in the city.Now these officers them-self feel secure so why bother about a common citizen
government failure. they don’t deserve to rule us if they cannot protect us. Please pray for a change
@Mohajir: ofcourse. people living in 90, Katti pahari etc are saints. Lyari cause of all evil :D
and rangers rein in Karachi goes unchecked for the last 24 years, long live rangers hegemony whiile karachites kill each other
@Mohammad Ali Siddiqui: "Police should be given the powers to shoot at sight any killer they found running ..."
OK I agree! but first the Police needs to find the killers. I am from Karachi and I have seen on several occasions that as soon as violence broke out in the City they are the first to hide. The most ridiculous institution of our country is none other than POLICE.
@Lobster: In karachi you dont vote your vote is already cast.
@dv sikka: It is azadi of course. It's our chosen leaders who are corrupt. We need to get our house in order.
IG sindh has taken notice. Vow!!!! As if anything is going to happen. Shame and pathetic.
We are more concerned about Palestine, India, how India mistreats Kashmiris, Kashmir, how life is miserable for Muslims in India, but we dont care about killing of Shias, violence in Karachi.
MQM, ANP and PPP can win only if they increase the rift between different communities. They get the vote because these communities in order to protect them will vote for respective parties. People of Karachi can win only if they do not vote these violent parties and choose someone else.
The gift of democracy from the allies: MQM, ANP and PPP!
Government failed miserably... We are getting used to regular news and all Pakistan is least bothered about Karachi. Get rid of government in Sindh and deploy Army.
My city just burns and burns and burns. But lets fight other people's wars, and worry about Kashmir and India and Afghanistan of course..
Will a day ever come in my life when I will see peace in Pakistan. Was it Azadi or Barbadi that we got from the British.
The problem is not only the killing, but the real problem is what is the big reason behind the killings and what actually are the plans of the third hand. The previous experience of Karachihites showed that in the fight between two rival groups always a third hand is involved. The authorities must take actions to find the third hand, the root cause!

Solutions to every problem in the world again will be operation in lyari :D
Police should be given the powers to shoot at sight any killer they found running after killing the person then only the killers would run to save their own lives.
