Karachi has always been in this kind of murderous grip. Its a shame that even after Rangers actions for the last year has not stopped this. There is a feeling now that current action against MQM will lead to more violence in future.

@Salim khan, Rangers can not be at every place in the metropolis of 20 million inhabitants. They are doing their best and we must help and encourage them.

....it's probably one of those times when even the best is not enough.
Souls of innocent karachites keep departing and one quarter keeps blaming the others.
PPP, MQM, Rangers and TTP.
All trying to establish supremacy and control over the metropolis by defaming the others.
