Karachi has become a city which has Police, Rangers but the role of Police and Rangers are symbolic.

Instead of saving the lives of innocent people, the law enforcement agencies run to save their own lives, instead of protecting the lives and properties of the innocent people.

Karachi is a lawless city.

No foreign businessman or trader would like to visit Karachi which has affected the overall business of the great City of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah.

In Karachi, the Gun is more powerful than Law.

Any one who has a gun in hand is a mighty person and this is why people say that Might is Right.

Would the Ministry of Interior also issue a gun license to me so that atleast I should be able to protect my life as well as the lives of my family members?
