@faisal saleem: ...and if you're going merely by hearing, how exactly do you discern between aerial firing and a gun firing at a person to kill them?
Tabish Bilgrami. You are doing Hahaha while 17 persons killed yesterday including PML(N) members. Shame for you. It is very tragic that rulers of Karachi close all shops forcefully if their single worker dies. But everything is normal in the city on death of these 17 people. They are also human beings. They are also Muslims. They are also fathers, brothers, husbands and sons of someone. You people are doing politics even on the cost of human lives.
ALLAH bless Pakistan. ALLAH bless PML(N) and Nawaz Sharif.
PML-N in second or third para. PLEASE TRIBUNE. EDIT PROPERLY ATLEAST
Very sad incident. Coalition partners of government do not want PML(N) to progress in Karachi and Sindh.
Democracy is the best revenge (obviously on the people who voted for it.)
Very sad incident. We are with Nawaz Sharif.
@Faisal Hahaha! PML N cannot even get a single area closed in Karachi and you are talking about shutter down....... :p PML is restricted to Lahore only.. This fact should be accepted...
If Balochistan government can be dismissed due to poor law and order situation, then why is it not possible in Sindh? Present Federal and Sindh governments have failed in all areas including law and order. they have lost their moral right to rule the country.
May Allah rest the departed souls in Jannah and eternel peace.
@Faisal, PMLN has no fan following in Karachi, we can't expect even protest from our party members or attending Tamur Bhai's Namaz e Janaza.
The partners of coalition government are against PML(N). I am sure that these coalition partners are behind the killing of Mr. Taimoor. All of them are afraid from increasing popularity of PML(N) in Sindh.
You can here arial firing in many places in Karachi. Looks like there is going to be a shutter down strike called by pmln party.
When will this end ! , We need protection !
People, what do you expect??? Elections are coming. More fireworks closer to the date.
