KARACHI: Last week has proven to be the bloodiest week in the
history of Karachi, in which 15 persons per day and 106 people in the
whole week were killed.
The provincial leadership even after
such huge loss of life and money instead of taking any concrete
measures against all such miscreants remained endorsed in the argument
of either to call armed forces or not.
According to the report
of Voice of America, these incidents of terrorism started on 17 August
when sacked dead bodies of five youngsters (residents of Layari) were
recovered from various parts of the city.
After these murders
unknown miscreants started firing from the old city area of Karachi,
whereas the former member National Assembly Raja Kareem Dad and his
companions were also shot dead. A not ending cycle of kidnap and murder
of citizens started after that. From 17-23 August 106 citizens were
murdered and their sag packed dead bodies were thrown on the streets.
According
to the Federal Minster of Information Firdous Ashiq Awan due to this
lawlessness in Karachi the national treasure has to bear a loss of Rs
21 billions in one week while the per day loss was Rs 3 billions. .
Due
to the continuously increasing lawlessness in Karachi the opposition
parties including ANP, MLF, MQM, various other nationalist parties and
the traders community strongly demanded to call armed forces but the
ruling party PPP remained indecisive.
It was decided on 23
August to call rangers rather than armed forces in for controlling the
law and order conditions better in the city. Online
