The game of war and blood continues in the largest city of Pakistan, Karachi. Peace has completely fled from the city and there is panic and violence everywhere. Daily, people are dying for no good reason. They are dying because of target killings and occasional bomb blasts. The government and law enforcement agencies have completely failed to restore peace in the city. Not a single day has passed where less than five people were killed. The people dying are all men who are political party workers, members of law enforcement agencies, or part of Shia or Sunni communities. In the month of October and November more than 200 people died due to target killings and the bomb blasts which have rocked the whole city. One bomb blast was a suicidal attack attempted on a military base in the town of North Nazimabad, block B.
Therefore, the citizens of Karachi feel very insecure. Men leaving their houses for work don’t even know if they are going to return later in the evening. They don’t know when they are out in the street where the next bullet will come from to kill them. There are areas in the city such as Sohrab Goth, Katti Pahari and Liyari which are now the layers of terrorists. In the past few days, rangers and policemen have conducted targeted operations in these areas and have arrested unknown men who are taken to unknown places for interrogation, according to the media. The condition in Karachi is getting more severe with time and there is no response from the government of Pakistan.
Even after all of these arrests, the law and order situation is still out of hand. Political parties such as the Awami national party and MQM have boycotted the national assemblies and senate sessions due to this violence. The citizens of Karachi are now demanding that the prime minister leave the security of his house and come to Karachi to declare an emergency. Karachites are demanding an army operation in the city and for the military to take over. Many shops and the business sector have shut down their business and will not re-open until peace is restored in the city. It would not be difficult to establish peace in Karachi but the government should make an honest attempt to reach this goal. These external forces are not involved in crimes and target killings in Karachi – instead, Pakistani leaders and political groups are involved. The MQM is the biggest terrorist group in Karachi. Peace in Karachi is not possible without a military intervention. It is very important to conduct search operations throughout Karachi to wipe out the terrorists and enemies there. The government of Pakistan is not paying attention to this and there is no action from them to control this condition. The Supreme Court of Pakistan has declared the importance of an army intervention in Karachi. However, some political leaders in Pakistan oppose this army action.
