No word to express what a gem we have lost.very honest teacher and doctor.we will always remember you in our prayers sir.i hope you got the place of shahdat,working in the line of duty in a place like Karachi.i think we all should keep a gun with us and shot these people whenever we saw them bothering others
@nadeem: While Zia-ul-Haq's personality is controversial but i don't quite think he is responsible for this case speifically
Big loss.He was a great gentleman,teacher and histopathologist.Allah in marne walon ko rahe hidayat de k ab bus karen ye kitne ghar ujar chuke haen.I have no words to say about this gentleman that why killed him, jin ke zindagi ka maqsad kam aur sirf kam.Allah un ko jannat-ul firdous ata farmae.Aameen
I just want to say that DR.JAVED KAZI you are an awesome teacher,now this country will going to suffer more than rest of the word,sir may your soul rest in peace........we all the students of kmdc will love you<3
Sad beyond words. Pakistan is going down the path of terrorism and extremism that there seems no bottom in sight. In fact the situation has become so bad that each new govt is worse than the old govt. Here is a novel idea. Why don't we raise a national army to protect the poor civilians?
The government never looked as inept as it does today.
The message is loud and clear. All the educated people and intelligencia, leave Pakistan so that WE rule the rest.
I have been noticing the doctors targeting since early 90s. But Alas! we did the nip the menace at the bud and did not care because the target was some community that is different from mine. Now it has spread to not only doctors belonging other (so called communities we have devided ourselves into) but innocent people from all walks of life. And what did we do? we made the killers into a stake holder, and equal partner instead of bringing them to justice swiftly and promptly
Who cares? Let's spend some time either dancing with ajraks or talking to some terrorists over a cup of a soldier's blood.
Very Very sad - we pray the responsible forces instead of justifying Karachi Operations feel some pain - this wave will also capture them, if not today, Insha Allah very soon
Killers for hire are common these days in Karachi. If you have a problem with someone, you can easily hire someone to 'eliminate' him.
they just want to destablise whole Pakistan and Moral towards Education aswell..if people like Dr javed being killed, then no one will try to be the groundbreaker of Success for our Beloved Pakistan :(
@nadeem: why always blaming a guy for what people are doing. Don't these people have sense. We have this problem of blaming others for what we have done.
Thank you Zia ul Haq for blessing us with gun culture. 30 years on we still see you everywhere in Pakistan when ever there is a target killing.
