I think most of the killing happen through motorcycle. Karachi need to re- register motorcycle owner and urged to medical facilities colleges and school to keep inside and out side cameras. It is not sectarian problem it is our economy problem. Karachi is participating more tax revenue than any other provision. If Karachi will not safe economy is not safe . Karachi is a port. If any motorcycle will find this killing business the owner will be punished. It will be no excuse that my motorcycle was stolen. If we will not not care our self Muslim countries will not Islam is take maximum benefit of education live in peace and you will get peace.May God bless my country Amen.
Second shia doctor killed in the last 24hours in karachi shame on us who keep quiet.
Inna lillaha wa inna ilayhi raajioon He was my father's friend. He had 2 daughters. Such a sad moment for my family. May Allah grant him paradise.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raajioon. Second medical professor to be martyred within a month (after KU dean of medicine Dr Javed Kazi). This nation doesn't deserve healers, only lunatic killers like the ones our govt is trying to have 'talks' with.
He was my father's friend. He had 3 daughters.
