Leghari said that Karachi was not mentioned on the list of Most Votalite Cities of the World and that the murder rate of Karachi is way lesser than New Orleans, Washington DC, and Mexico. LEGHARI is waiting for KARACHI to become one of the above .....only then will he start taking action.... speaks volumes about his commitment to the city i also fail to understand how come the bench did not call the CM & THE FED INT MINISTER.
Most of the killings in Karachi are of man which is a clear discrimination against woman. This shows the Pakistani society is male chauvinistic. We should learn a lesson from India in this regard.
