Karachi nightmare

Letter September 14, 2013
One should understand that what is happening in Karachi, as a result of this targeted operation.

ATLANTA, GA, US: This is in reference to the editorial, “Karachi nightmare” (September 13). The problem with Karachi, and Sindh in general, is the serving official’s mentality that once elected into office, a public office-bearer is not responsible for the same public that voted for him. In fact, our elected representatives think they have been given a licence to feed on our blood. Having a public mandate does not mean that one is above the law.

One should understand that what is happening in Karachi, as a result of this targeted operation, is only the implementation of the law of the land, which is the same for all. In fact, the law is stricter for public office holders as they have to set the example for the masses to follow.
