Karachi people are waiting ,when those killers will be arrested. But can not wait more Whole karachi people will stand and will fight with these so called fuedals
For the first time, the young generation of Pakistan is standing up for itself. This is the beginning. So instead of being discouraging and whining, why don't you appreciate this act and encourage them to do the same for everyone who suffers at the hands of injustice. Whatsup with the negativity???

Inshallah PTI supporters will be there for protest too (outside Karachi Press Club). We are building strong protest against the brutal murder on social media.
I think people, mostly Sindhi feudal apologists, need to be ashamed of themselves for trying to belittle the issue. Bottom line is that these feudals tend to behave like demi gods, of sorts. These very people have not let interior Sind progress and tend to blame Punjab for all their woes and troubles. And yes, it was Zulfiqar Mirza who armed everyone in Sind to the teeth. Maybe, it is high time we divide Sind into two provinces, one for Sindhis and the others for Urdu speakers. My apologies for not being politically correct. This rhetoric about "Sind dharti" is quite enough and should be done away, once and for all. I know plenty a few Sindi young waderas myself and this is how they usually act and feel that everyone in Sind is a "kammi" on their enormous "jageers".
He's a martyr no doubt, may Allah give his family patience, but he isn't different from the sons,brothers and fathers the family has lost due to law and order situation in the city. Where was tribune,where were these people who are trying to get justice for shahzeb, why didn't these people took there protest to the street for them? why?. I respect the youths,the friends and the families who are making people aware of this matter, but by only making this protest soul purpose to gain justice only for one person is a selfish act in its self. Just because the people who have died uptill now were majority of illiterates and belonged to poor families and didn't had means to access the social media dose not mean their grieve and pain was less than the pain and grievance shahzeb family is feeling right now. How literate, knowledgeable and the influential people have sided with jus one pesron just because he was one of them and seclude the poor and helpless of the city. I am with the family of all martyrs of the city not just one, I am with all the shahzeb this city has lost not just one. People are losing their lives every day why these bloggers and the people at twitter never raised there voice for them, just because they are poor?. More than 60 percent of Pakistan population is poor, majority of sindh is ruled by feuds yet the people killed every day in Karachi are killed due to law and order situation and yet no one ever came to there aid, no news channel, no social media and no news paper. Justice can only be served when equality is created. Just like Mehran said we are divided in to faith,color and race, but I would also add different classes. May shahzeb soul rest in peace and all those who have lost thier lives due to the law and order situation of the city.
Right. I also condemn the brutal act. But do the life of other krachites who die each day, amounting in dozens , are cheaper than that of shahzaibz? We demand justice for a young guy belonging to an Elite family (which in itself is not wrong, His life was as important as anyone else in this country, and may his soul Rest in Peace and May God grant him a place in Janna). But this is hypocrisy. We dont do that for poors in this country! This country was carved in the map by ELITE for ELITE. Many fools ask that when Pakistan will achieve the purpose of its creation! Oh you fools purpose has been achieved. Elites have the power. But those who killed were also Elites. But I tell you one thing in advance, Centre of power is shifting slowly from one kind of elite to another. In the coming years feudal lords wont have power. The new power holders will be the Business Class and educated elites. Like those who control express tribune. And now as I have been too straightforward, my comment will not be posted! Long live CENSORSHIP of expression, Long live Pakistan!
There is little or no citizen activism in Pakistan. The only time they come out is when a political or religious party holds a jalsa.
its a shameful incident in Karachi. i also read this here http://www.awamipolitics.com/shahzeb-khan-murder-in-karachi-11280.html
@ Mehran The problem with this nation is that we aren't capable of handeling the truth. The truth is that it was a feudal (Zulfiqar Mirza) who issued the most arms license in sind then ever in its history or any other province and it was a feudal who shot a man who stood up to defend his sister. Being a "feudal land lord" is not an ethnicity for your kind information, its a deep rooted parasitic culture that has been there in this part of the world for a very long time and if not uprooted will destroy the entire nation.
ET is flaring this issue quite well with special focus on ethnic coloration of this issue. We all must demand justice but please dont use any criminal activity between two groups as linked with any ethnic group. It was not all all done on the basis of ethnicity, it was result of fight between two groups. As per ET's own report, on average 6 people are reported to be killed each day in Karachi? How many Feudal lords were involved in those killings? Why should not we raise voice for all those killings and violence? Instead of uniting against all criminals (despite their faith, color and race) why we use ethnic colors to one specific case? It will only help create hatred. Pls wake up people, lets unite against all criminals belonging to any party, group or race.
we pakistani are not that courageous lie indians to go out for protest.
Thank you ET.
Apparently the murderer, Shahrukh Jatoi, has already run off to Dubai. His father has offered the "mitti pao" solution to Shahzeb's family.
Thanks ET
