@Kanwal: Don't complain if ~10 people get killed each day in Karachi which is a city of 20 million people. So if 10 people get killed each day, it will take more than 5000 years to get all of us killed, which is impossible. So chill, and keep supporting liberal forces like PPP, MQM, and ANP, or anyone of them as per your preference.
