Perhaps,
Karachi- the economical hub of Pakistan is under some jinxing effects. The jinx
of selfishness, lawlessness, corruption , terrorism and surprisingly all these
curses are human created. The inhabitants of the city are the most doomed
creation on the earth. Despite the several possible reasons; the incompetent
and venal politicians are the root cause of the catastrophe in the city of about
twenty million populace.
Previously known
as the ‘City of Lights’ is under the dark shadows of target killing, force
money, looting, street crime and newly emerged scourges of sectarian and
terrorism. The deadly attack in Abbas Town (Karachi) yesterday has left 50 dead including women and kids and about
145 injured.

The power lords
of the Karachi are enjoying the blessings of the ‘democracy’ with a new interpretation
as this government is ‘of them, by them and for them’ only. The Pak Army has also its unjustified presence
in the city as over a decade ‘Ranger Forces’ are fully failed to control the crime
cum terrorism in the Karachi. The public has no role and right at all. Even the
masses have no right to question on the non - provision of their basic right of
peaceful living hood.
PPP, MQM and ANP
are ruling in the city. First time MQM
is sharing power with the other two parties while this is the first time too
when Karachi has paid the high price of this trio romance. Apparently this an obsolete
argument that political parties have failed to show their due constructive role
for peace and prosperity in the city. After a decade when the situation is even
worse than before; this discussion is
simply a futile effort. The police,
rangers and other intelligence agencies are no more than puppets in the hands
of their bosses. As when the innocent people were attacked in the Abbas Town
and dead bodies of women and kids were on the road, the victim families were
tossing for help, the law enforcement forces
were performing their duties on the engagement party of CM’s Advisor Sharmila Farooqi.
The political
parties are traditionally engaged in blame game as they did before after every afflictive incident. The Army is crystallizing
his image as the General Kiyani expressed his consent few days before in an
off-the-record meeting with Pakistani media gurus. The supreme court potentially
can order to the ruling government for maintenance of law and order which is
again a useless practice considering the attitude of current egotistic and clumsy
government.
The ball is in
public court to hit right for their future through voting power in the
forthcoming election. They can take it as an opportunity to elect the capable representatives.
For an immediate and durable solution of
disease; the public needs to show their political vigilance. Ideally this is a
dream and biggest reality is that dreams come true on earth.
